As many already know Mass Effect 2 is on it’s way to the PS3 this coming January. What many of you may not have known is what PS3 owners have in store for them when the game is released. Well don’t worry I’m going to tell you… well BioWare Producer Jesse Houston is going to tell you. He had this to say on BioWares official forum:
Firstly I’d like to talk about what’s on the BluRay Disc; Of course Mass Effect 2 will be included. On top of that, Lair of the Shadow Broker, Project Overlord, Kasumi: Stolen Memory and the Blood Dragon Armour.
Also included is, as on Xbox 360 and PC, an access code to the Cerberus Network. This will give you instant access to the same great lineup of Downloadable Content such as Zaeed and Firewalker.
We’ve talked briefly about the Interactive Comic. BioWare Edmonton (the group that made Mass Effect 2) teamed up with the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics to create an interactive backstory. While I can’t release all the details about this yet, what I can tell you is that we want to create a stunning visual experience that not only tells the core story elements of Mass Effect 1, but also is fully interactive allowing you to be faced with some of the major choices which will have consequences your Mass Effect universe. This interactive comic’s initial release will be exclusive to PS3 owners who would be otherwise unable to realize the full effect of choice in the Mass Effect universe and will be included on the Cerberus Network.
There will also be some DLC Bundles, such as the Aegis Pack as well as exclusive both Free and Paid DLC for all PlayStation 3 owners such as the Recon Operations Pack.
Edit: While I can’t go into details all of this content is or was available to Xbox/PC Owners but otherwise wouldn’t be available to PS3 owners.
More details about this will be released later.
Sounds pretty awesome to me, I have only heard how amazing this game is so I am rather stoked about it. Also released today was the box art that is going to be used for Mass Effect 2 on PS3, looks pretty similar to that of the Xbox 360 and PC versions.
Mass Effect 2 is scheduled to be released January 11th 2011 for the PlayStation 3.
