Mass Effect 2 coming to the PS3 in January 2011

It was bound to happen.  With Mass Effect being one of the most innovative franchises to come along in a long time, in both story telling and gameplay mechanics, it’s no surprise that BioWare has announced that it’s bringing the hit game to the PS3.  To further entice PS3 players, BioWare is including hours of bonus content to immerse them into the ME universe.

[I hope some of this bonus content fills in the back-story from Mass Effect 1 for PS3 owners, since the second game’s story is even better if you have experienced the first game – Alex]

For more details, check out the press release from GamesCon after the break.

Cologne, Germany – August 17, 2010 – Today at GamesCom, BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced that Mass Effect™ 2, the highest rated game of 2010 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and PC*, is coming to the Sony PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system in January 2011.
