E3 2015: Mass Effect Andromeda announced

EA and BioWare have finally revealed a new Mass Effect game is currently in development.

16

It’s been over three years since EA and BioWare released Mass Effect 3, and today, both companies are coming together once again for a new Mass Effect title. EA opened today's press conference with a trailer for "Mass Effect: Andromeda." The short teaser gave a holiday 2016 release window, and it will be coming to PC and current-gen consoles.

The announcement promises new worlds and new characters, distinct from Shepard's original trilogy saga. You'll once again take the role of a male or female protagonist to explore the Andromeda galaxy. It does note that the character we saw in the cinematic trailer, below, isn't actually the player character.

Developing...

      I was hoping for a return to the original Mass Effect game with the discovery and exploration but this looks like another generic action movie.

      Man, I just don't think I can do Bioware games anymore. I loved kotr, had a great time with mass effect 1&2, tried to play the dragon age games and their formula for games is almost embarrassingly transparent and I feel like it's getting worse.

      This and Battlefront were all I really cared to see today. Glad I could catch it, Looked beautiful and I'm all in for exploring a different galaxy.

        That was fucking weird. The one game I don't want musical juxtaposition with is Mass Effect - that shit works great for Assassin's Creed but ME has always been about awesome cinematic music with an electronic edge.

        The one not included in the game, where we baited and weaponized a star system along with the local relays causing a massive CRB that destroyed the enemy but required the surviving species to abandon the galaxy as the burst slowly sterilized large chunks of the Milky Way?

        I bet they can ignore the shit out of it by saying that this group is descendant of the people who left the Milky Way before the events of the ME3 so they have no idea how things went down in the home galaxy.

          That seems to be roughly the plan.

      Horrible choice of music.

      That's... not what I expected. This was the game I was most excited for, but that music was awful and didn't feel even remotely connected to ME, and it felt very action-focused, which was never the point of the series for me.

      It seems weird that it'd be in a different galaxy, potentially wasting all the great lore they've developed. Also I thought even the Reapers didn't have the tech to move between galaxies.

      I still have hope that it'll be great, though

          Jack Wall. Such a big part of why ME1 and 2 were amazing. I still liked 3 for the closure (on an individual character level rather than the overall plot) but... man, I hope Andromeda doesn't fuck things up.

      Why the hell do you embed videos so that we can't fullscreen them!? That's so fucking annoying. Every time I have to click on the title of the video to open it in a new youtube tab so that I CAN fullscreen it. You're just driving people away from the site by doing that.
