Bioware has finally announced the official released date of Mass Effect 2(Xbox 360 and PC). One of the most anticipated titles of 2010, the game will hit store shelves in North America on January 26 and on January 29 in Europe.

 

But that's not all, the developers have also revealed the pre-order incentives of the game. According to the press release:


In North America, pre-order bonuses* include special-ops armor and weaponry that are designed to boost Commander ShepardÂ’s skills and abilities. At GameStop, Terminus Gear is available with pre-orders, which includes the powerful Terminus Assault Armor and the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon:

  • The Terminus Armor is designed for use in extreme planetary conditions, increasing run speed and personal shields, and augmenting weapons with an additional magazine of reserve ammo.
  • The M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon generates a high-powered localized gravity well, accelerating particles to near-infinite mass, and ultimately expanding the selection of heavy weapons available to players when they gear up for combat missions in Mass Effect 2.

Players that pre-order Mass Effect 2 at other retail outlets in North America will receive the potent Inferno Armor, which is used by officers to monitor battlefield conditions by recognizing elevated heart rates, and regulates sub-systems with extreme efficiency to allow for greater response times – together these abilities translate in-game into a negotiation bonus for Commander Shepard and an increase in run speed and augmented damage from combat powers
