The Nomad will be used to explore the open terrain of planets, including the new desert world Elaaden, which will feature plenty of story-focused and optional missions for players, as well as new additions like the still-mysterious vaults and the occasional, formidable super-bosses.Īndromeda will also see some combat alterations.
According to GI, the Nomad has been designed in response to some of the criticisms of the Mako, including changes to handling, camera and the vehicle's sense of speed. They won't affect the ending of the game, but these missions, as well as romance options, will be available with the player's allies, two of whom GI also revealed -the asari PeeBee and member of the Pathfinder team Liam.Įchoing the Mako from the first Mass Effect, players will also be able to explore planets in Andromeda via the Nomad. What happens to the Hyperion, what other races may be encountered, and just what motivates the Kett are kept a secret, but GI does reveal a host of changes to the Mass Effect formula coming with the fourth main entry in the franchise.Īndromeda will see the return of loyalty missions for party characters, according to GI. The demo GI experienced of the game had the Kett in an antagonistic role, however the outlet notes the whole race may not prove to be enemies of the Ryders. Game Informer's story also reveals the Kett, the first non-Milky Way alien species Andromeda players will encounter in the game. The human ark, the Hyperion, finds itself at the wrong location after a 600-year trip, however, where it loses contact with the other three arks, as well as the Nexus, a command center sent ahead of the arks to the Andromeda galaxy. "At the end of this, we want it to feel like a story was completed," Walters told GI.

(Remember - the male and female playable options for Andromeda are actually brother and sister.) As either Scott or Sara Ryder, the children of Alec, players assume the role of the Pathfinder at the outset of the game, as that designation is passed on to one of Alec's children.Ĭreative Director Mac Walters also noted to Game Informer that though Andromeda kicks off with an entirely new focus and set of protagonists, the game is not necessarily the start of a new trilogy. Players come into the Initiative's mission as either the son or daughter of the leader, or Pathfinder, of the human ark.
