The epic space RPG continues on January 26th in North America, with Europe joining the fray three days later on the 29th. Along with the release date announcement, EA has revealed preorder bonus equipment available via download code once the game hits store shelves.
Most retail outlets will receive codes for Inferno armour (seen above), which increases your Commander Shepard’s negotiation skills, run speed and combat damage. Those opting to preorder from GameStop will receive the Terminus Assault armour (seen below), which includes an armour suit that augments run speed, damage, shields and adds an additional magazine of reserve ammo, and the M-90 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon, which generates a localised gravity well, which sounds painful.
“Our fans are in for a genuine thrill in the New Year with Mass Effect 2 — the second instalment in the trilogy will be of amazingly high quality,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA. “BioWare’s fans worldwide have been eagerly awaiting this epic sequel, and we couldn’t be more excited to reward them for pre-ordering by delivering some awesome bonus content!”
I, for one, am relieved that a release date has finally been nailed down. Now I know which week to request off. Don’t tell Crecente.
