Mass Effect: Andromeda was originally due to be released in 2016, but EA’s chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen has confirmed during a presentation at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, that the game is now targeting a release in early 2017.
“We have our Mirror’s Edge [Catalyst] runner game this first quarter, and then we have Mass Effect [Andromeda], which is a sci-fi action game, in our fourth quarter. So big year ahead and we’re pretty excited.” said Jorgensen.
The next battlefield title was also mentioned, with it coming in the third quarter, along with Titanfall 2 as well.
“We’ve got a great year ahead… we’ve got our Battlefield first-person shooter game coming in the third quarter, and our third-party title that Respawn, our partner, built, it’s called Titanfall, it’s the second title that they brought into that brand. Both of those are first-person shooters and will be targeted around the fast, action-driven shooter market, as well as the strategy-driven market in that quarter.” Jorgensen confirmed.
Mass Effect: Andromeda takes place long after the events of the first three Mass Effect games, in the Andromeda Galaxy. Developed by BioWare, it will be released for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in early 2017.
