Mass Effect: Andromeda has no season pass, out on EA/Origin Access first
In a switch to EA's standard sales model, Mass Effect won't have a Season Pass, and EA Origin Access subscribers get it first.
EA and BioWare have announced that Mass Effect: Andromeda won't have a Season Pass. Additionally, Mass Effect: Andromeda will be available to those who subscribe to EA Access on Xbox One or Origin Access on PC for a "limited time" before the general launch.
Whether or not there will be paid DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda hasn't been stated by EA or BioWare yet. Although Mass Effect: Andromeda has been said to be a self-contained story and not the first entry in a new trilogy, it would be great to avoid the mess that is Mass Effect 1-3's DLC model. It continues to be an enormous frustration that the Mass Effect trilogy's DLC is never on sale and some of it is just unavailable depending on which platform you play on.
It's not known how long EA/Origin Access subscribers will get access to the game before launch. Previously, Battlefield 1 had a 10-hour demo on Access, so EA may go that route, or allow access to the full game early.
Mass Effect: Andromeda will release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 21.

ME3 sucked without it. DLC should extend the game's playability, not fill in holes with stuff that should be in there in the first place.

They really need to switch it from Bioware points and/or put some of it on sale for once...

Never going to happen. They make way too much off that DLC.

EA and Bioware have done a terrible job marketing this game
we've gotten some videos of a generic looking third person shooter
we know the game takes place in an entire new galaxy probably because they are too lazy to reconcile what happened in the first trilogy
but everything they have showed so far is similar: same cerberus robots, same aliens
they haven't revealed anything about the characters or plot (perhaps to avoid spoilers). leading with tepid voiceovers and the same third person action sequences we've seen in a thousand other games does not inspire confidence-

This is pretty much how I feel as well. I am ready to get back into that world. I am a bit apprehensive that gameplay will be a bit too much like DA:I, but so far the footage I've seen looks good. I like the idea that you aren't tied to a specific class for the whole game and can respect at will.

It looked like the most recent gameplay video that you could respec before a mission from a solider to a tech class. Maybe I misinterpreted what I was seeing.

You can rest assured that EA will effectively turn this franchise into Call of Duty for space RPGs. There's a new one every couple of years, but it'll just be the same old, same old. I share your lack of excitement.

:) see what I mean it is sort of self marketed it really does not need much to convince me LOL. But yeah I do agree they have really no put much effort into it at this point but really I don't think they have to. The game is going to own and from the little we have it looks insane! and I need to own it and play it. -

Goddamn you EA! You dirty bastards know me too well. I'll buy every single piece of that DLC.
