After a (very) long wait, Mass Effect: Andromeda finally has a confirmed release date of March 21, 2017. Unfortunately, due to some problems in the space-time continuum, those in Europe will be getting the game two days later.
The date was revealed in an opening keynote of the ongoing CES in Las Vegas alongside a message to all Bioware fans. Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of the studio, thanked fans for both their patience – and impatience. The event at CES also included a new trailer showing off the enviroment and more gameplay – but will be released to the public at a later date.
“Mass Effect: Andromeda is our most ambitious Mass Effect game to date. We’re telling completely new stories, creating new characters, new planets, new species, and introducing new gameplay systems.” Back during Mass Effect: Andromeda’s earlier reveal build-up, we took a long look at what information we currently had available – including companions, new features and more.
Mass Effect: Andromeda will launch March 21, 2017 in North America, with Europe’s release on March 23.
Ruaraidh - pronounced Roo-Ree - is a Scottish gamer with the name and games to prove it. He enjoys mostly everything, unless it involves exercise, and much prefers to run around inside a good, open-world RPG, being chased across the lands by a horde of monsters after his sweet loot. When he has made his escape, he will often return to the real world to continue playing anything with a good story - indie or otherwise.
