Mass Effect fans, here is something for you today. An EA survey may have revealed the story behind the new Mass Effect title, Mass Effect: Andromeda. The reason we’re marking this as a rumour is because the storyline could change based on the feedback from survey-takers. Therefore, take everything you are about to read with a grain of salt.
According to the survey, Mass Effect: Andromeda will take place in the Andromeda galaxy:
“Mass Effect: Andromeda takes players to the Andromeda galaxy, far beyond the Milky Way, where players will lead the fight for a new home in hostile territory—where WE are the aliens—opposed by a deadly indigenous race bent on stopping us.”
In Mass Effect: Andromeda, players will experience the freedom to traverse and explore a planet-dense but seamless open-world galaxy, rich with discovery.
Naturally, this new Mass Effect will be similar to all previous parts of the series. Players will take the role of the leader of a squad of military-trained explorers in a third-person shooter, with deep progression and customization systems.
Below you can find some screenshots from the survey (thanks NeoGAF).
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

what is with this “it seems it will be” bs in the last screenshot?
No one know how the game will be, whats the point of doing a survey when all we now is the premise of the story not the gameplay?
Anyway the only way i would ever bother with bioware ever again is if they made a open world sci fi shooter, that is what i am hoping they will aim for here as inqusition was more of a open world game than a rpg.
I think they’re just trying to see what peoples expectations are.
Meh getting a bit tired of every dev wanting to make their games open world now.
Yeah, these kind of questions are asked when not an artist nor game designer but a marketer rules the project.
*usual ranting about soul, spirit and such.
