‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ Gameplay Footage: A Galaxy’s Worth Of Surprises
Oh man. Oh man, oh man! Not only did we get a release date for Mass Effect: Andromeda yesterday. We were also gifted some gameplay footage. Which, I will tell you, I didn’t watch. I want to go into this fucking game fresh. F-r-e-s-h!
It’s been a big day for Mass Effect fans. Not only do we now have a release date for the next game in the sci-fi series — Mass Effect: Andromeda is out on March 21st — but we’ve now got an even better look at how it will play. Developer BioWare released new footage of Andromeda during Nvidia’s CES show that showed the player battling robotic monsters, launching jets of flame at their enemies, and changing their class type on the fly.
Alongside the new footage, BioWare has put out a selection of screenshots that give us a better look at the armored aliens that seem to make up the Remnant faction you’ll be fighting against. The minute of footage showed the player leveling up their skills to better battle against these creatures, attacking them with fire and jolts of electricity to strip their shields and armor. The images also give us a good look at the Tempest — one of the ships you’ll call home — as it flies through the atmosphere of a weird new planet.
