Termin: Ende Januar 2010
Mass Effect 2 wird Ende Januar erscheinen und zwar am 26. Januar 2010 in Nordamerika und am 29. Januar 2010 in Europa. Des Weiteren wurden erste Vorbesteller-Boni für Nordamerika enthüllt: "Terminus Assault Armor" und "M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon". Ob ein ähnliches Bonus-Programm für Europa geplant ist, hat BioWare noch nicht verraten.
In North America, pre-order bonuses* include special-ops armor and weaponry that are designed to boost Commander Shepard's skills and abilities. At GameStop, Terminus Gear is available with pre-orders, which includes the powerful Terminus Assault Armor and the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon:
- The Terminus Armor is designed for use in extreme planetary conditions, increasing run speed and personal shields, and augmenting weapons with an additional magazine of reserve ammo.
- The M-90 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon generates a high-powered localized gravity well, accelerating particles to near-infinite mass, and ultimately expanding the selection of heavy weapons available to players when they gear up for combat missions in Mass Effect 2.
Players that pre-order Mass Effect 2 at other retail outlets in North America will receive the potent Inferno Armor, which is used by officers to monitor battlefield conditions by recognizing elevated heart rates, and regulates sub-systems with extreme efficiency to allow for greater response times - together these abilities translate in-game into a negotiation bonus for Commander Shepard and an increase in run speed and augmented damage from combat powers.
Zusätzlich hat BioWare noch einmal bekräftigt, dass es keine PlayStation 3-Version geben wird und das Spiel exklusiv für Xbox 360 und PC gedacht ist.
"Hi folks. There is a report circulating today based on an appearance I made in Poland yesterday. Seems there was a misunderstanding about ME2 coming to PS3," [...] "Let me clarify today: ME2 is coming to PC and X360 only. Look for them both on Jan 26 in NA and Jan 29 in Europe." [...] "Sorry for the confusion."
