A Reddit user claims to have gotten his hands on an early build of Bioware’s highly anticipated Mass Effect Andromeda game.
Now obviously, as the game is currently scheduled for a release late next year, we should take this information with a grain of salt, seeing as the developer didn’t confirm nor deny these details.
Here’s a rundown of some interesting information found in the video above:
- 2 Squad mates as before, a human blonde and a krogan mentioned
- All squad mates have jetpacks which come into play in exploration
- Omnitool has more functionality, for example a combat shield
- Greater detail in character facial features and models
- Destructible covers (Yay Frostbite!)
- Completely different ship (I take it as a step away from the frigate sized ship that we saw in Normandy and towards a larger ship, perhaps the one seen below)
- Hints at Mako customization
- ‘Pathfinder quarters’ section in the ship
- Main character is referred to as ‘the pathfinder’
- Story revolves around finding a new home for humanity and other races
- New ship travel system (Instead of the old galaxy map) where you manually fly the ship
- Enemies (the main opposing force I assume) are bipedal cross between Vorcha and Collectors
- The (non-human) enemies drop into combat from Cerberus ships (I would assume a placeholder, but if it’s not then it gets interesting)
- One of the antagonists is a human soldier with armor similar to yours but without N7 insignia
I do like the sound of this, but right now, it is so much more conjecture than anything else. I mean, we are at least a year away, and probably six months out before we start the major marketing push. I am more excited about the series just getting back to its roots of exploration and discovery.
