Bioware has revealed that the female and male protagonist in Mass Effect Andromeda will be brother and sister, with either being selectable as a playable character.
Both characters exist in the game’s world at the same time, but we don’t yet know if you’ll be able to meet each other. The character’s father will be in the game too, who you might recognise as the N7 we saw in the trailer two E3s ago.
“We’re seeing our male character, at E3 we got to see our female character,” BioWare’s Mac Walters told PlayStation Access. “A little surprise here - these two are actually brother and sister.
“They both exist in the game world at the same time. If you’re playing as the female Ryder, your brother is out there somewhere in the universe. The character we saw two E3s ago, the N7, is actually your father. So we have got the full Ryder family revealed. We’ll do names and things in the future.”</b>
EA and Bioware actually showed off the first Mass Effect Andromeda gameplay during the PlayStation Meeting last night, giving us a taste of what it’ll look like in 4K. Check that out below.
Mass Effect Andromeda will be released for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in early 2017.
