The Mass Effect trilogy is a masterful science fiction saga set in vast expanses of space, teeming with dangerous aliens and mysterious planets yet to be discovered. In the dark second chapter, Saren's evil geth army has just been defeated, and humans, still struggling to gain a better place in the galaxy, now face even greater peril.
"We're taking the extraordinary gameplay we brought to fans in Mass Effect even further with more intense combat, expanded weaponry, and a more immersive planetary exploration system, all set against the backdrop of a traditionally strong and engaging story," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, General Manager and CEO of BioWare and General Manager and Vice President of EA. "Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be a unique RPG shooter that will take players on a non-stop journey of unexpected plot twists and unbridled action.
Two years after Commander Shepard repelled a Death Eater invasion intent on destroying all life, a mysterious new adversary emerges. On the edge of known space, someone is quietly and inconspicuously kidnapping entire human colonies. To avert the most terrifying threat humanity has ever faced, Shepard is forced to team up with the ruthless organization Cerberus, dedicated to the survival of human civilization at all costs.
To even attempt this risky mission, Shepard must assemble the most elite unit in the galaxy and take command of the most powerful ship ever built. But despite the belief that the expedition is suicidal, Commander Shepard is determined to accomplish the impossible.
