Mass Effect: Andromeda – The Journey Ahead

In a developer blog post, BioWare’s General Manager, Aaryn Flynn described the company’s future plans for the game. They include an immediate patch, and a number of goals for the next two months. Have a look:

This Thursday, we’ll release a new patch that addresses technical fixes (crashes, improved performance), but also adds a number of improvements we’ve heard you ask for, such as:

• Allowing you to skip ahead when travelling between planets in the galaxy map
• Increasing the inventory limits
• Improving the appearance of eyes for humans and asari characters
• Decreasing the cost of Remnant decryption keys and making them more accessible at merchants
• Improving localized voice-over lip sync
• Fixing Ryder’s movements when running in a zigzag pattern
• Improving matchmaking and latency in multiplayer

There are many more adjustments being made, all of which you can find in our patch notes.

Over the next two months we’ll be rolling out additional patches which will go even deeper and look to improve several areas of the game:

• More options and variety in the character creator
• Improvements to hair and general appearance for characters
• Ongoing improvements to cinematic scenes and animations
• Improvements to male romance options for Scott Ryder
• Adjustments to conversations with Hainly Abrams

These upcoming patches will also address performance and stability issues. We’re also looking at adding more cosmetic items to single player for free.
