Mass Effect: Andromeda Delay Confirmed, Gameplay at E3

We have known that Mass Effect: Andromeda was delayed to early 2017 for a while, but it’s still good to get actual confirmation for anyone who doesn’t closely follow executive presentations and gaming forums. That said, I’d argue that BioWare’s statement of intent and the news that there will be some gameplay footage of the game at E3 are the most important part of the Mass Effect: Andromeda update published on the series’ official website.

I suppose we’ll have to wait until June 12 to see how the promise of more freedom and an all-new galaxy will translate into gameplay:

As we’ve been playing the game at the studio recently, it’s showing us that we’re taking the game in the right direction. But we also know we need the right amount of time to make sure we deliver everything the game can be and should be that’s our commitment from all of us to all of you. Because of that, Mass Effect: Andromeda will now ship in early 2017. We can’t wait to show you how far we’re all going to go. We’ll see you at the EA PLAY press conference on June 12, with an update.
