“We’re very happy to welcome the fans back to the Mass Effect
universe,” said Aaryn Flynn, VP and GM of BioWare. “The team’s
vision for this epic new chapter was to take what our fans love
about Mass Effect – great characters and combat – and add more
emphasis on exploration while telling a different type of story.
We’re following a group of characters who are just starting their
heroic journey, and we can’t wait for our fans to discover more
about them and this new galaxy.”
The story opens after a 600-year journey to the Andromeda
galaxy, as the crew begins searching for a new home for humanity.
The dreams of easy settlement are quickly shattered, as worlds
expected to be paradises are instead wastelands, and the Pathfinder
discovers that not all inhabitants of the galaxy welcome humanity.
Terrifying enemies will challenge players and their crew, forcing
them to utilize destructible environments, vertical movement
through boosted jumps, customizable weapons, Biotics and other
tools in their arsenal to even the playing field in a combat system
and character progression that is more thrilling and open than
ever.
Mass Effect: Andromeda will also feature a separate team-based
online multiplayer mode where players can engage in fast, fluid and
frenetic combat to work together and achieve success. Utilizing
combat skills, strategies, weapons and abilities gained from the
field, players must coordinate to take down overwhelming
forces.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is developed by BioWare and is available
now on Origin for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in North America
and starting March 23rd in Europe.
