The Art of Mass Effect: Andromeda Amazon listing.

We already knew that this was the book's release date, but the pre-order listing's blurb states "Dark Horse will release The Art of Mass Effect: Andromeda simultaneously with the game!"The Amazon UK listing has a March 23, 2017 release date, perhaps indicating the game will be released slightly later in Europe, which would not be an unusual move.Spotted by Destructoid , the date lines up with EA CFO Blake Jorgensen's comments that the game would be released during the publisher's fourth fiscal quarter, between January and March 2017.Dark Horse has a long association with Bioware games, designing the Mass Effect series' catch-up interactive comics for new players, and announcing new Mass Effect and Dragon Age titles - including this art book - at New York Comic Con last week.We're due to learn more about the game on November 7 - or N7-Day - when the "doors to the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe" will officially be opened, and we'll learn more about the game's deeper customisation options.We'd bet that if we weren't already going to get a release date announcement on N7-Day, we will now.
