Mass Effect 2 To Release Simultaneously On 360 And PC


Mass Effect 2Mass Effect 2 will release simultaneously on PC and Xbox 360 BioWare has confirmed.

Speaking to VG247 associate producer, Jesse Houston confirmed the news at GamesCom.

Houston also said BioWare "learned a lot" while developing the PC version of the original Mass Effect and took what they learned from the PC version and added it in the 360.

"Fundamentally, we want you to have the same gameplay experience, but just with the difference in controls. This time round, doing it at the same time for a sim-ship, we can control the differences much more smoothly because it's the same team building it now."

GamesCom also saw the latest character for Mass Effect 2 announced in the form of Grunt. BioWare also revealed a new trailer and screens to celebrate the GamesCom announcement.

Check back later today for our hands on preview of Mass Effect 2.
