Mass Effect expected on iPhone

Bioware’s community co-ordinator, Chris Priestly, stated that Mass Effect game is being developed for iPhone and iPod Touch. More details about the game would be officially announced later this month and in June. Bioware’s Mass Effect 2 game for Xbox 360 and PC is already underdevelopment and expected to release in 2010.

Bioware is making Mass Effect for iPhone and iPod Touch based on ’side-story’ of Mass Effect 2 characters. This story line won’t be a bridge between the first Mass Effect and upcoming Mass Effect 2. Priestly clearly mentioned that the development on this game is being done by a separate, dedicated team with no connection to any Mass Effect DLC development or patches.

Bioware was supposed announce this officially, but according to Priestly, one of the testers breached the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and divulged the information before it was officially out. Nevertheless, since the word is out, let’s hope that this Mass Effect game for iPhone comes way before the Mass Effect 2. Hopefully, the “side story” is good enough to keep gamers on their toes for Mass Effect 2 expected in 2010.
