The inevitable has happened. EA has announced it is to publish Mass Effect for PC in May 2008. The award-winning space action adventure title has been redesigned for the PC platform by BioWare, offering optimised controls, higher quality visuals, a new decryption mini-game and a new inventory – making it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armour.
Also new is the ability to assign biotic powers and skills to hot keys, meaning menu access won’t be required. This is said to create a more run and gun style of play with a heavier focus on action.
The announcement also shed some light on the future of the Mass Effect franchise, BioWare vp Ray Muzyka noting: “EA has struck an agreement with Microsoft to handle future publishing for Mass Effect. We are looking forward to releasing Mass Effect on the PC this Spring and brand new titles in the future.”
New titles in the Mass Effect franchise are certainly coming, but the details aren’t clear. Does this mean EA will release future games on multiple platforms or does Microsoft still have its hand in the pot? We’re doing our best to get to the bottom of this and we’ll keep readers posted with any developments.
