Mass Effect 2 Officially Announced for Xbox 360, PC

Looks like Mass Effect 2 will not be a multiplatform title after all, at least on consoles. My guess was right that when EA said the game would come to “multiple platforms”, that meant the Xbox 360 and PC.

“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 the Xbox 360 and PC in early 2010.
