Mass Effect 3: Citadel is a downloadable content (DLC) pack developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for the 2012 action role-playing video game Mass Effect 3. It was released for PlayStation 3, Windows, and Xbox 360 in March 2013. The pack follows Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy SR-2 starship on shore leave, where they must uncover the truth surrounding a conspiracy against Shepard.
Citadel is the final major downloadable content pack for Mass Effect 3. It received very positive reviews from video game publications, who praised its humorous tone and focus on character interactions and relationships, although some criticism was aimed at the pack's reliance on fan service. Many critics described it as a "love letter" to the series, and felt that it was the best downloadable content pack of Mass Effect 3. Citadel was nominated for Best DLC at the 2013 Spike Video Game Awards, but ultimately lost to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
