According to leaks and a trailer, in Mass Effect: Andromeda, the crew of the traveling ship will likely be cryogenically frozen/put into stasis for the duration of the journey to Andromeda. I've done a metric-shit ton of research about cryogenic freezing and stasis, and it is far, far more complicated than you can imagine. It is theoretically possible, but requires such extremely advanced technology to ensure it can even work. Good thing the discovery of Prothean technology boosted humanity's technological prowess centuries into the future. I really hope that Bioware will specifically address in the game just how the cryogenic freezing/stasis works, it would mean so much to me and make the game feel a little more realistic or plausible. I don't want them to ignore this or give a cop-out answer. But I won't hold my goddamn breath. It doesn't explain it in the way you're asking afaik (so far) but cryosleep/stasis was already a thing in the ME lore before Andromeda, at least. Jack was kept in stasis.. there was the Manswell Expedition (which shows that humanity had some measure of cryosleep technology at least 75 years before discovering the relays).. and granted it wasn't human tech but the Protheans that were in cryo suspension.. etc.

Interesting Gameinformer cover! You can see the Ark ship in the sky, and the male human companion from the Tech demo video with an Avenger/Lancer rifle in the background. Also, at the top left corner, is that a shuttle? It looks like a small spaceship, but it could be some other kind of structure.

Regarding the release date, from the investor call transcript: "On the Mass Effect question, really our focus – the way to think about it is our focus is on building great games. Right now, Mass Effect is tracking extremely well. The game looks beautiful, and we're really pleased with its progress. However, as you've seen, we are willing to make moves in launch date if we feel it's necessary to deliver the right player experience. And our guidance assumes that Mass Effect continues to be in this year, but it gives us some flexibility that we might choose to move it either a week or three or four or five months if we have to based on what we want to make sure in terms of delivering the right experience for the player. So no news on Mass Effect other than we continue to have it in our guidance. And the moment that changes, we'll certainly let everyone know." Ughhhhhhh. My baby is due in May. March is perfect! I really won't have time to play it if its moved to the fall. The summer, I could handle. Newborns (especially my almost 4 year old daughter was) can be colicky and just like to be swaddled and sit in their vibrating bouncer. That's how I played the Last Of Us.

"...if we feel it's necessary to deliver the right player experience..."
Why do I get the feeling it's EA's version of player experience. As, in, "do we gouge them enough?" or "can we add more micro$transactions?" or "how about a subscription based MP service?" or "let's add armour / weapon fluffery or a Gold Edition and possibly an Ultimate Collector Edition for a good price". Also, notice the words "...our guidance..." and "...we might choose ..". Seems like they set up the stage for a delayed launch, possible on financial grounds (understandable).

Speaking as someone trained to analyze the motivation behind executives' use of language in earnings calls: If I were given this question to analyze, I would conclude that management was preparing investors for a delay. I'd spitball the chances of some delay at about 60/40 based on this response. Management wants to keep its options open but they use language that's supposed to convince investors that any delay would be a good thing. So this isn't a remote possibility we're talking about. I couldn't tell you how long a delay is likely, but that they mentioned the possibility of a five month delay suggests that such an option is on the table. I'm inclined to think such a delay is probably for financial reasons rather than development concerns.

It'd be cool to have that armour/N7 rank later in the game, though i feel like it might implicate Ryder's father might die. The male companion in the tech demo is still there. I'm not too bothered about the lack of helmet or armour for the Asari for now because it might just be her iconic look. Hopefully we'll have enough option to customize our squad's equipment.
