'Mass Effect: Andromeda' (ALL) Forgoes Season Pass, Pre-Loads Early On Origin & EA Access

by Rainier on Jan. 9, 2017 @ 10:01 a.m. PST

A whole new galaxy awaits for you to explore as Mass Effect: Andromeda pushes the boundaries of known space into the next generation, delivering distant star systems with remote and hostile planets ripe for discovery.

Mass Effect: Andromeda takes players to the Andromeda galaxy, far beyond the Milky Way. There, players will lead our fight for a new home in hostile territory as the Pathfinder-a leader of military-trained explorers. This is the story of humanity's next chapter, and player choices throughout the game will ultimately determine our survival.

Mass Effect: Andromeda gives players the chance to be the Pathfinder, charting a course in a dangerous new galaxy in search of a new home. Meet and recruit all-new and interesting characters in an epic space saga, and pit your team against terrifying enemies and creatures singularly-focused on your destruction. Utilize verticality and boosted jumps to even the playing field, as well as destructible cover and brand-new weapons and Biotics to make combat more thrilling than ever. Utilize the most flexible progression system ever in the Mass Effect franchise to build the Pathfinder exactly how you want, focused on the abilities and skills that will make you virtually unstoppable.

Bioware's General Manager/Vice PResident Aaryn Flynn confirmed that Mass Effect: Andromeda will not have a Season Pass, which begs the question whether that means the new ME game will not have any DLC, free DLC, or only DLC sold separatly.

It was also announced that Mass Effect: Andromeda will pre-load through EA Origin (PC) and EA Access (Xbox One) on March 17 (when you pre-order) giving members of either service early access to the game, similar to what Electronic Arts did with Battlefield 1.
