Bioware are presently hard at work on Mass Effect Andromeda, the fourth entry in their critically acclaimed Mass Effect saga. Fans the world over are waiting with bated breath for the game to hit early next year- but until then, we need to put up with all the cryptic, often infuriating teases that the developer posts on social media frequently.

Among those teases this week? Well, we have Bioware teasing the game’s opening, which will apparently have some things done in it that are new for the franchise; a new monster, that was hard to design and develop, but apparently will be equally hard to kill in the game; and finally, they teased their new IP, which we have known about for a while, and which Bioware will finally take the wraps off of it.

It’s exciting times to be a Bioware fan, that’s to be sure- let’s wait and watch exactly what it is that they have in the works. Hopefully it’s everything they (and we) want it to be.

Reviewing the opening of the game right now. So much progress in recent months. Much excite. 🙂 #space — Ian S. Frazier (@tibermoon) May 6, 2016

@BioFanOfficial Yup! @NoelLuk and his crew are doing some pretty sweet new things with it. 🙂 — Ian S. Frazier (@tibermoon) May 6, 2016

Aaaand one of our more challenging creatures just passed its review. This has been a good day. 🙂 #space — Ian S. Frazier (@tibermoon) May 6, 2016

@N7Follower All of the above. Hard to design. Hard to implement. Hard to kill. — Ian S. Frazier (@tibermoon) May 6, 2016

Blocking so many hours in my schedule to perform a full playthrough of the game makes me happy 🙂 — Fabrice Condominas (@Faburisu) May 3, 2016

Today was all about pushing the boundaries on various fronts. And so far it's paying off! — Fabrice Condominas (@Faburisu) May 7, 2016
