Dear Esther, the atmospheric indie title from thechineseroom, has sold more than 100,000 copies, shortly following the title’s launch for Mac on Steam. Developer Robert Briscoe shared the news on Dear Esther‘s official site:

“I have to admit I was a little unsure as to what to expect from sales of Dear Esther once we went to retail, we all were – there was no real benchmark to go by at the time, so I’m extremely pleased to see so many people enjoying the game, and most importantly, proving that gamers are open and eager to new ideas and experiences outside of the boundaries of ‘traditional’ gameplay. Thanks to everyone who has supported us through this journey, and who will hopefully continue to support us in the future!”

Dear Esther is half off through Thursday, May 17 in Steam’s Midweek Madness sale, running just $5.

The next DLC for Mass Effect 3 won’t be the “Extended Cut” DLC planned for this summer, if a pulled listing on Sony’s Hong Kong site is to be believed. The next piece of content will apparently be focused on multiplayer and available for download tomorrow.

The Rebellion Multiplayer Expansion is a series of multiplayer maps and other goodies. “The Rebellion Multiplayer Expansion opens two new fronts against the Reapers: Firebase Jade’s jungle reservoir and Firebase Goddess on Thessia,” Kotaku reports. “In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons as well as equipment, consumables, and six new classes: Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator, Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel, Phoenix Adept and Vanguard.” The listing has since been pulled from Sony’s site, so we’re unable to confirm the contents of the listing.

Update: BioWare community guy Chris Priestly hit the forums to debunk the rumor – at least, about it launching tomorrow. Priestly does say we’ll learn more on multiplayer DLC in the future, but doesn’t specifically address Rebellion. “We will have more information on ME3 MP DLC in the future, I hope later this month, but nothing more to be said now.” [Thanks, JustinSaneV2]
