Introduction

Sovereign has been defeated, as well as Saren and his Geth followers. Commander Shepard made some hard choices in the end, but now he’s a hero. Cerberus – a ruthless organization dedicated to the survival and advancement of the human race – knows the Reapers aren’t just going to disappear. Under orders from the mysterious Illusive Man, Shepard is back in action and will stop at nothing to take the fight to them before they can regroup and overwhelm the civilization they so callously underestimated.

BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 continues the epic story of the galactic struggle for survival against the ancient race of sentient machines bent on the extinction of all intelligent life.
