In case you are wondering what in Master Chief’s name is happening, then our friends at Videogamer had a very friendly chat with BioWare’s senior manager Matt Atwood and they managed to squeeze out some juicy details, more on that later.
As we all know what an amazing experience Mass Effect for the Xbox 360 has been, we are pretty sure that Mass Effect for the PC won’t disappoint. It is slated for a May 08 release date.
Bioware’s senior manager Matt Atwood had this to say about Mass Effect 2, “How will it correlate to Mass Effect, the original? There’s a lot of really exciting answers to that question. I think that people are going to be blown away.”
He added “I’ve learned some of the things. I don’t mean to tease people. The teams are just so brilliant and the story writing is so good that straight out from the beginning of Mass Effect 2, people are going to be in awe…I will tell you that things you did and people you interacted with in Mass Effect… you may very well meet up with them again, whether it be the main character or other characters.”
Looking at the details, PC gamers are surely in for a treat. Matt Atwood also gave some hint as to the exclusivity of Mass Effect 2 on the 360, “I believe we’ll be Xbox 360 exclusive for at least a short period of time; We’re still working out the details on that, but we’ve had a great relationship with Microsoft and done very well.”
He also added something that would be a treat to the ears of all PC users, “I think you’ll see a PC version not too far away”. Till you are drooling over this news, make sure to check this space out later on for impressions of Mass Effect for PC when it releases in May.
