BioWare have also updated the Andromeda Initiative site, unveiling a few key details about the game’s plot which features species from the Milky Way attempting to colonise seemingly habitable planets on the outskirts of the Andromeda galaxy.

As you’d expect, things don’t quite go according to plan:

The mission to reach Andromeda begins in 2185, just before the events of Mass Effect 2, and it looks like the far-flung setting and new timeline will allow BioWare to freely introduce new species and gameplay features without interfering with any of the franchises’ established lore.
 
Xbox One users got a little extra surprise this N7 day, with news that Mass Effect 2 and 3 will be joining the original game as backwards compatible on the console. All three titles are also accessible from the EA Access vault for  subscribers to download and enjoy.

Mass Effect: Andromeda launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in spring 2017. Excited by the trailer? Share your thoughts with us over in the forums or in the comments below.
