BIOWARE Mass Effect 4 surprises are planned for N7 Day, BioWare has revealed

N7 Day, held on November 7, usually includes fan competitions and the release of new artwork, or side-projects in connection with the wider Mass Effect universe. And while it would be the perfect setting for a short Andromeda teaser trailer, BioWare have warned fans that there will be no major announcements for the Andromeda project. Instead, fans can look forward to new livestream events and giveaways to celebrate the original Mass Effect trilogy.
