Fans of the popular Mass Effect franchise have been patiently waiting for the fourth main installment, or otherwise known as Mass Effect Andromeda. While there are very few details that have been released for the upcoming video game quite yet, the development team has teased some aspects from time-to-time. Two of those aspects were teased about on Twitter according to Attack of the Fanboy.
Mass Effect Andromeda will have a massive enemy waiting for gamers to stumble upon. Lead designer for the upcoming Mass Effect Andromeda, Ian S. Frazier, tweeted out that gamers will have a massive enemy to fight against, one that even he had difficulty defeating during a gameplay test.
This week was very hard. But it ended well, with sweet new character progression to see and a very, very large new foe to fight. 🙂

Highlight of my week was seeing a gameplay designer murdered by his own creation, shortly after he gave me crap for dying to it.

No details were given other than that the new foe is big and difficult. However, that’s not the only piece of news that came out from the development team at BioWare. We’re also finding out that romance is still very much a key aspect of the Mass Effect franchise. Tal Peleg, an animator for Mass Effect Andromeda has noted the creating a romance culmination on Andromeda was not as easy as he first imagined.

So far we know that Mass Effect Andromeda will take place long after the events of the first three Mass Effect video games and will be available for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One sometime in 2017.
