The Electronic Arts GamesCom press conference is currently underway and BioWare have taken the stage with two big announcements, one of which is that the Mass Effect franchise will be heading to the PlayStation 3.
Previously exclusive to PC and Xbox 360, Mass Effect has been rumored many times as jumping ship to PlayStation 3, each time a rumor surfaced, BioWare shot it down.
However, now BioWare have just announced that Mass Effect is indeed coming to the PlayStation 3 in January 2011.
No specific date was given, or whether it would be the first Mass Effect, the second, or indeed both.
The first Mass Effect released to fans around the world in November 2007. Following the game's huge success and high reviews BioWare crafted a sequel, part of a trilogy which the company had wanted to create from the beginning. Mass Effect 2 released in January 2010, again proving to be a huge success.
Mass Effect 3 is coming, BioWare have already confirmed it, but now we'll hopefully see the whole trilogy on PlayStation 3 and not just the second and third.
