Of the many upcoming games to be revealed at E3 2016, Mass Effect Andromeda is perhaps one of the biggest. Not only is it the next game in the hugely successful franchise from Bioware but it’s also our first look at the gameplay since it was first confirmed in 2012.

It would say Mass Effect 1 is their um…I would say it’s their spiritual successor to Mass Effect 1. It’s kind of the game they’ve always wanted to make.”

Will Mass Effect Andromeda live up to that legacy? We’ll find out when it’s revealed on June 12th at EA Play.
