Mass Effect Andromeda, the eagerly anticipated fourth entry in Bioware’s science fiction space opera series, is still practically an unknown- we know it is due to launch next year, we know it’t set in the Andromeda, and a long time after the ending of Mass Effect 3, but to this day, we haven’t seen a single frame of gameplay footage.
And yet, we’re all hyped- a large part of this has to do with the incredible goodwill that surrounds the Mass Effect series, which causes people to give in to their excitement regarding the game. It also helps that, without actually saying much, Bioware still keep saying things that hype people up.
Take this latest tweet by BioWare Montreal and Austin’s head of design and art Alistair McNally. McNally said, “Played Mass Effect Andromeda yesterday and then today our new IP. Both of which are looking stunning.”
They are looking stunning- we wouldn’t expect anything less from a Bioware title. Now we just have to actually see it in action- maybe at E3 this year?
