Though it’s arrival has always been anticipated, EA has only today confirmed that BioWare’s epic Xbox 360 RPG Mass Effect is heading to PC, with its arrival expected in May.

The game will be optimised for keyboard control, with things such as the lock-encryption minigames getting a complete overhaul.

EA Games boss Frank Gibeau stated: "EA has struck an agreement with Microsoft to handle future publishing for Mass Effect. We are looking forward to releasing Mass Effect on the PC this spring and brand new titles in the future."
