Mass Effect 2 will NOT be coming to the PS3

Recently the rumour of Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3 has been starting up again and, as a result of a few misunderstandings, it was even believed to be so. One of the more larger causes for confusion happened recently when Jay Watamaniuk, a community manager of BioWare, made a comment about the PS3 being a target audience for Mass Effect 2 – which naturally led some to believe that the game would be seeing a PS3 release. It struck me as odd, personally, because the game is being released in January of 2010 and surely if they were planning to release a PS3 version it would have been announced quite a while ago? Unless they were planning to release it after the PC and Xbox360 versions that is, but that wasn’t really the message given when Jay Watamaniuk passed that comment at a gaming event. Either way, Jay Watamaniuk posted the following comment on the BioWare forums to resolve this issue:

There is a report circulating today based on an appearance I made in Poland yesterday. Seems there was a misunderstanding about ME2 coming to PS3.

Let me clarify today: ME2 is coming to PC and X360 only. Look for them both on Jan 26 in NA and Jan 29 in Europe.

Sorry for the confusion.

What added to the confusion was the fact that various websites on the internet also listed Mass Effect 2 for the PlayStation 3 in addition to the PC and Xbox360. However, with the above statement we can put this issue to rest. Mass Effect will be releasing on the 26th of January 2010 in North America and on the 29th in Europe – for PC and Xbox360 only.
