Everybody knew Mass Effect 2 was in the works, but up until now it did not have any official announcement.
“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, founder of BioWare, and EA big-wig.“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,” he went on, in a cliche-driven press release.
The game is set for "early 2010" for both PC and Xbox 360 -- giving a glimmer of hope that perhaps the PC version will come out closer to the Xbox 360's version's release -- unlike last time.
Bioware employees have previously stated that Mass Effect was always envisioned as a trilogy, and that saved player-characters from the first game would be able to be used in the sequel.
If you somehow missed hearing about it last year, Mass Effect is a science fiction RPG set in a future struggle where human beings are battling nasty robots and long-dead aliens.
