Mass Effect's Marketing Survey team strikes again, this time with alleged leaked plot details about the latest title in the Mass Effect series, Mass Effect Andromeda. The leak was reported by users on Reddit and NeoGAF.
According to the survey, Mass Effect Andromeda "takes players to the Andromeda Galaxy, far beyond the Milky Way, where players will lead the fight for a new home in a hostile territory - where WE are the aliens - opposed by a deadly indigenous race bent on stopping us."
This is quite the departure from the Mass Effect players are used to, if true. The survey continued; "Experience the freedom to traverse and explore a planet-dense but seamless open-world galaxy, rich with discovery. Play as the leader of a squad of military-trained explorers in an intense third-person shooter, with deep progression and customization systems."
Having said all of that, this might not be the final form the game takes. This is just a survey and we've seen EA surveys in the past have drastic changes towards the outcome of a game's final form. It does sound very much like the core Mass Effect experience players have come to know over the years; combat, exploration, and aliens, while applying them in a different way. We're definitely interested in learning more as time goes on.
We suspect we will see more of Mass Effect Andromeda at E3 2016 so stay tuned for all of the latest information.
