BioWare's Mass Effect 2 and a sequel to DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company
will arrive in the first three months of 2010, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello has revealed. In today's conference call, Riccitiello said that Mass Effect 2 will arrive on multiple platforms, suggesting that it could hit both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at launch. When asked about platform details, EA told Shacknews that no details were available.
The first Mass Effect was a console exclusive for Xbox 360, trailed by a PC release a few months later. BioWare has suggested the sequel
may follow that model.
The Battlefield: Bad Company sequel will presumably follow in the footsteps of the console-only original, which hit PS3 and Xbox 360 in the summer of 2008.
Both games will be released during the fourth quarter of the publisher's 2010 fiscal year, which runs from January 1 to March 31
