Mass Effect 3: Omega DLC Not Coming to Wii U

Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U will not be receiving the Omega and Leviathan DLC packs available on other platforms, EA has announced.

We heard previously that some of the game's DLC would be integrated into the game on the disc. It now appears though that not only with the Leviathan and Omega DLC packs not be part of the retail package, but they won't be made available for download via the Wii U eShop either.

We don't have anything to announce at this time, but we'll definitely keep you posted if something comes up!

In response to being asked on Twitter when the Omega DLC will be available for Wii U, EA replied, "Unfortunately it will not be available for Wii U."

When asked whether more DLC other than what's already been confirmed would be making an appearance on the console, the company responded, "Never say never. :)"

The packs that are built into the Wii U version at no extra charge are the Extended Ending, the Resurgence, Rebellion and Earth multiplayer expansions and From Ashes.

Alongside missing out on Omega, which is said to be the biggest DLC pack for the game yet, there are currently no solid plans to make the Leviathan, Retaliation or weapon packs for the game available on Nintendo's console.

That's not the end of the bad news either; despite being the only console not to receive the recently announced Mass Effect Trilogy set, EA also confirmed that there are currently no plans to bring either the original Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2 to Wii U.

When asked if those games would become available soon, the company responded, "We don't have anything to announce at this time, but we'll definitely keep you posted if something comes up!"

Mass Effect 3 is available on Wii U now in America and when the console launches in Europe on November 30. The Omega DLC will be released on November 27 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
