By Zee | June 15, 2015

New Mass Effect: Andromeda details have emerged following its official announcement earlier today during EA’s E3 2015 press conference, giving fans a slightly better idea about its story, characters and setting.

A trailer accompanying the announcement concealed the featured character’s race, making it uncertain whether it’ll be a human-centric story or not. However, a new BioWare blog post reveals that the mysterious character featured in the announcement trailer isn’t the game’s main protagonist and confirms that players will be be able to play as both human male and female characters.

According to the developer blog, Mass Effect: Andromeda takes place far away from and long after the events of the original trilogy and offers “exciting new worlds to discover, great characters, and intense action.”

“You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw,” the post reads. “And through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with.”

Mass Effect 4 was officially announced as Mass Effect: Andromeda during EA’s E3 press conference today, and is slated for a holiday 2016 release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
