Mass Effect: Andromeda – who will sleep with who?

The new Mass Effect game has gone gold, and that means a whole new crew to romance… and see in the nude.

The Mass Effect series is rightly lauded for its strong storytelling and excellent combat, but the other thing it’s best known for is its sexual encounters.

The original game was embroiled in the infamously stupid ‘Sexbox’ controversy, where someone on Fox News, who later admitted they’d never played the game, pretend it featured the, ‘ability for the players to engage in graphic sex’.

In reality, after dozens of hours of slow-burning romance, all you got was a minute-long sex scene that would look tame by daytime soap standards. But it seems as if the new game might be taking things a bit further.




Although the American age rating for the game initially only talked about ‘partial nudity’ and ‘strong sexual content’, the description has now changed to ‘full nudity’.

We know this because BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn proudly tweeted the news, before going on to describe the game as being ‘totally softcore space porn’.

He was then accused of trolling, to which he insisted he was not. He’s obviously messing around to a degree, but it does seem as if the game will be more sexual explicit than any of the previous three.

We recently went hands-on with Andromeda for the first time, but didn’t have time for any romantic interludes.

Mass Effect: Andromeda will be released on March 23 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
