In a blog post on the game’s official site , BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn called Andromeda the “most ambitious Mass Effect game to date,” promising a “tremendous graphical jump” compared to the original trilogy thanks to using the Frostbite engine Flynn explained that several members of the studio took home a copy of Andromeda over the holiday break to put the game through its paces and make sure it was ready for release.“Coming back from holiday, the feedback has been great,” he wrote. “Getting the endorsement from members of our studio, many of whom played key roles on the original trilogy, was definitely a key factor in helping us lock in on the date.”Today’s announcement confirms the long-rumored March 21 date, which appeared in retailer listings and art book advertisements as far back as October. Mass Effect: Andromeda was originally planned for holiday 2016 but was delayed to 2017 last March.A new look at Mass Effect: Andromeda is scheduled to be shown off at tonight’s NVIDA CES 2017 keynote , which begins at 6:30PM Pacific Time.While you wait, be sure to read 37 new things we learned about Mass Effect: Andromeda last year, and find everything else we know in our Mass Effect: Andromeda wiki guide
