March 17, 2009 in Press Release comments 18

Whilst Mass Effect 2 will be multiplatform, it may not be in the way certain people were hoping. The press release also sets in stone the aforementioned Q1 2009 release date and gives fans a brief glimpse into the storyline and gameplay of the next game in the series.

[ Mass Effect 2 Forum ]

Leading video game developer BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. today officially announced Mass Effect 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the multi award-winning 2007 hit, Mass Effect. The Mass Effect trilogy is a masterful science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life forms and mysterious uncharted planets. In this dark second chapter, Saren’s evil army of Geth soldiers has just been defeated, and humans, who are still struggling to make their mark on the galactic stage, are now faced with an even greater peril…

“We’re going to surpass the extraordinary gaming experience we brought our fans in Mass Effect by delivering intensified combat and expanded weapon options as well as increased depth of planet exploration, all while delivering a powerful, emotionally engaging story,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, General Manager and CEO, BioWare and General Manager and Vice President, EA. “Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be an unforgettable RPG-shooter experience, taking players on a non-stop roller-coaster ride filled with stunning plot twists and no-holds-barred action.”

Mass Effect 2 is coming to PC and the Xbox 360 video game system in Early 2010. To see the exclusive new Mass Effect 2 teaser trailer check out the website here: www.masseffect.com.

      O - I was under the impression that most people already knew it was going to be a trilogy?

    There's still a chance of this going to the PS3. Really just confirms the idea that they weren't revealing it as a 'console multiplatform' in that past announcement - not that it's not going to happen period.

    btw: waaaaaaaant this. If they fix the faceless, emotionless, boring side questing, then Mass Effect 2 will be one of the best games ever.

      The fact that your allowed to use your levelled and equipped characters from the previous Mass Effect game and the effects from your story are contributed into Mass Effect 2 already tells me it ain't hitting PS3 unless Mass Effect does.

    Would be sweet if we saw a new version of the first ME for PS3 and then ME2 as well.

      Yeah that would be good for ps3 owners but how would it work? Me2 would be built with the first one in mind, so it would be hard to incorporate a new game to work with the story line and for them to develop 2 games in a year.

      Would be a nice treat for ps3 owners though.

    Hmmm, so it's going to be like Mass Effect but better? Also, better weapons, combat, and highly emotional story?

    Ok, I have no doubt it'll be amazing, but that's a god awful story outline.
