The next chapter in the popular sci-fi series will take users into a new place, powered by Frostbite technology.
During CES 2017 the final release date of the Mass Effect: Andromeda was announced. The game will launch in North America on March 21, 2017 and March 23, 2017 in Europe. Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of BioWare, says that the team has been focused on completing the game and tested the game even during the holidays.
This is the first time Mass Effect franchise is working with on Frostbite. The engine delivers a tremendous graphical jump for the game. Although some gamers were not happy with the results, shown in the previous trailers. Let’s hope the final result will show the new level of visual fidelity.
Over this holiday break, developers at BioWare took home a version of the game in what we call the “holiday build”. This is a longstanding studio tradition that goes back to the early days of the original Mass Effect. Many load up a PC or console and go home to play as much as possible at their leisure. Coming back from holiday, the feedback has been great. Getting the endorsement from members of our studio, many of whom played key roles on the original trilogy, was definitely a key factor in helping us lock in on the date.

To complement the announcement, the studio also published a short trailer, which shows the gameplay of the project.
