Heading to Xbox 360 and PC early in 2010.

BioWare today officially announced Mass Effect 2, the sequel to the acclaimed sci-fi RPG Mass Effect.

"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."

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.

It's also been confirmed that the game is coming to Xbox 360 and PC in early 2010. The press release makes no mention of the PlayStation 3.

Ehm, it's not 'confirmed'.

It makes no mention of PS3. It probably isn't coming to the PS3, but it doesn't explicitly state that.

Well thats a shame. That is my most favorite game on the 360. Would have loved to play it on my favorite console. But I guess it was too much to expect this on the PS3, M$ would never have allowed that to happen.

No mention of the PS3 =/= it not being on the console!

No mention ether way is not a conformation.

Quote from wiki
Mass Effect 2 would be available on "multiple platforms". It was later confirmed that Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game are planned, with no comment on any other platforms. This leaves open the possibility of a Playstation 3 release.
