Mass Effect PC delayed

PC News | BioWare using extra time to polish game.

BioWare Community Coordinator Chris Priestly has announced on the official Mass Effect forums that the PC version of the sci-fi RPG has been delayed.

Mass Effect was originally slated to be released on the PC across North America on the 6th of May. Fans should not be too broken up by the new setback though, as the game has only been delayed by a few weeks. "The new release date for North America is May 28, 2008 and June 6, 2008 in Europe," commented Priestly.

BioWare is using the additional time to ensure that Mass Effect is by up to spec for all PC enthusiasts. The Canadian developer has also brought in external back-up to lend it a hand. "The team here at BioWare, working closely with the good folks at Demiurge Studios, has decided that a few more weeks in the studio will ensure we deliver the quality that our fans deserve. The additional time will allow us to incorporate more play-testing feedback, add extra polish and tune the additional features so that Mass Effect is a natural and outstanding PC gaming experience," Priestly explained.

An Australian release date was not mentioned in the post, but we should expect Mass Effect on the PC to land on local store shelves around the same time.

Isn't there a point where 3 days old news is too old to be bothered posting as new news?

^its only 3/4days dude?

But yeah I like when studios delay a game by only a few weeks to ensure the game is Great, instead of rushing it out all bugged up.

I'm just glad that they're putting in the extended tactical controls that were pulled from the 360 version. Gives people who have already payed the game something extra to chew on.
