Mass Effect: Andromeda is an upcoming action role-playing third-person shooter video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is a sequel to Mass Effect 3 and was officially announced on June 15, 2015 during the Electronic Arts press conference at E3.
Gameplay:
Players are able to play as either a male or female human character. They will be able to pilot the new Mako, a six-wheeled buggy-type vehicle seen in the reveal trailer and driven in the first Mass Effect game.
Plot:
The game takes place long after the events of the first three Mass Effect games, in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Development:
Andromeda was rumored by tweets by former BioWare Edmonton executive producer Casey Hudson in November 2012. He asked, "We're in early stages of designing a completely new Mass Effect game. What would you want to see in it ?" On November 12, 2012, BioWare announced that they are working on a new Mass Effect project and that it would use DICE's Frostbite 3 engine, much like Dragon Age: Inquisition. In March 2013, Hudson revealed at PAX East that BioWare was beginning work on the next installment in the franchise. The video game was officially announced to be under development at E3 2014 on June 9, 2014, where Andromeda was briefly shown with early conceptual footage and information. According to then BioWare community manager Chris Priestly, BioWare does not want people to refer to the next game as Mass Effect 4. This statement was followed up by BioWare Edmonton chief Yanick Roy, emphasizing that the original trilogy was concluded and they are focusing on a new story in the Mass Effect universe. On January 19, 2015, it was revealed that the next installment involved 200 developers. It was suggested that the title would not be Mass Effect 4 and that the Mako, a six-wheeled vehicle used in the first Mass Effect, would make a return in the fourth installment. A multiplayer component was confirmed also.
Mass Effect: Andromeda was revealed on June 15, 2015, during EA's press conference at E3 2015 in the form of a trailer; it was subsequently uploaded to the Mass Effect YouTube channel on the same day. A teaser trailer was uploaded to the channel on the "Mass Effect Day" on November 7, 2015.
