Well, last month we showed you the debut trailer and the website for Mass Effect 2, but it seemed to take EA and Bioware a bit longer to officially confirm the existence of the game. The interesting part: the game will ship in early 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PC. It looks as if ME2 will stay as a 360 exclusive, even with EA as the publisher.

“We’re going to surpass the extraordinary gaming experience we brought our fans in Mass Effect by delivering intensified combat and expanded weapon options as well as increased depth of planet exploration, all while delivering a powerful, emotionally engaging story,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, General Manager and CEO, BioWare and General Manager and Vice President, EA. “Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be an unforgettable RPG-shooter experience, taking players on a non-stop roller-coaster ride filled with stunning plot twists and no-holds-barred action.”

We can only assume that Mass Effect 2 will talked about at next week’s GDC as well as E3 and TGS later this year. Stay tuned for the latest on Commander Shepard and Mass Effect 2!
