Mass Effect: Andromeda release date: March 21, 2017

Let's also be honest, summers are actually great for school students and there's less competition involved. Why the hell businesses do not understand that is beyond confusing.

Its just a fucking placeholder. Yes, I'm admittedly scared as well. But Andromeda is set to release in 2017, and gaming sites almost always use December or the end of a fiscal year or quarter as a placeholder for a video game without a confirmed release date.




Apparently Bioware is almost completely finished making Andromeda anyway. The main story is playable from beginning to end, the voice acting is almost finished, almost all of the content is in the game, and the team recently reviewed the ending and claimed to be satisfied with it. All of this points to a release in Spring 2017, like they keep saying. All that's left is polishing and bug-fixing.



Bioware entered crunch time in September, which typically lasts for a few months. I can't see them delaying the game when it is almost finished, and spending almost a year in crunch time.

Andromeda was initially set to launch late 2016 (november/december) but at E3 they delayed it to Q1 2017.

there is no way that they will delay it for over 3/4 years since they are currently building up hype, this would be a marketing.
current info via artbook leak is 21st march, which is end of Q1 2017, and if they cant hold that day its Q2 2017 and if all else fails Q3 2017 but this is highly undoubtly, not to mention if they really go for Q4 2017.

I will get the standard deluxe edition.
The SD seems like it will make the game too easy on COOP, and what is the point of playing if you get free goodies every week? Kinda takes the challenge away from the game.

[UPDATE]

I got the Super Deluxe Edition after all... difference in price was just too small to pass it.

Most likely not the real deal. Big AAA games always release on a Tuesday. No way EA deviates from that tradition. If you would have said March 21st or March 28th, then that would be much more likely.

But it's all speculation at this point: Bioware is still holding a Spring 2017 release window. No more info yet 

Looks completely official to me
I see no reason to doubt it

Thought the artbook dates were 21 March 2017? That's why people found them convincing.

The game will be released when it will be released.

Personally I don't even mind it at all if they push back the release a few more months, polishing and bugfixing and all that.

Edit : also gives me more time to get a new gpu at a lower price.

About those missing companions / unfinished companions frankly I didn't know.
Hopefully, its just about putting those already developed snippets together into 1 piece.

To me the game looks early alpha, so I have no idea how they release a quality product by March, 2017. I can see it getting pushed back to the holidays, 2017...which might be the best thing.
