Mass Effect: Andromeda release date: March 21, 2017

So I noodling around on amazon earlier & I noticed this:


It has led me to wonder if there is some indication here about the release date for the game.
Now I know that nothing has been confirmed, but the reason we all started to speculate about the release date being the 21st or March was due to that leaked image from Titan Books, if memory serves.
This however is accessible to the public here's the link to check for yourself www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Mass-Effect-Andromeda-Bioware/dp/1506700756/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1481479176&sr=1-1&keywords=mass+effect+andromeda

So this has left me wondering, with the release date for Nexus Uprising set as 28/3 & now the art book set at 23/3 is the the clearest evidence yet that the game's release date is to be on or around that date? & if so, do you think we'll hear about it soon?

Opinions?

When the Amazon page for the Art book first came out it said that the book and the game would release simultaneously. That's where the March 21st date comes from. 

My bet is on late January.
Good moment to light the fuse, i.e February is short (4 weeks for final hype build up) and then last preparations for 21st (hopefully) March.

Pre-loads on Origin will probably be available a week earlier or so (I do hope so - ME:A feels like its gonna weight 60~ GB at least).

I expect them to drop Release Date somewhere at the end of January.

I really think it's coming this spring. With the amount of crunch the devs are doing, it'd be ridiculous to delay it that long.

Read the twitter thread. A few devs worked all night last night. That doesn't happen when you're a year away from release.

I'm sorry, I haven't watched the video but is the idea behind them delaying it another year based off of "I'll tell you about it over beer?"

I call hi-jinks and shenanigans. I can foresee some delay. Plus, EA want to try and take advantage of a better release date that may not be as crowded. March might be optimistic based on what we've seen thus far. May/June is probably a more likely window.

Colin was inferring that it may/was a pain in the a** to make. Plus, wasn't Inquisition supposed to come out a whole year before its actual release date? I think before it was renamed to Inquisition. So, there is precedent for BioWare doing this. Thus, they may end up needing more time because its a new studio of BioWare making it and not Edmonton. He may have said drink not beer, but same thing really... Also reason why it was posted in the first place, Colin as a decent track record of predicting when games get delays/release dates.

Agreed people are still peeved about ME3's ending I'm not one of them as I loved ME3 endings and all and whilst I did feel the ending was a little weak it made sense and for me that was and still is good enough. But I don' t think Bioware will want to repeat these annoyances with MEA because in the end that'll just put people off buying it and that'll be the last thing that either Bioware and EA want. Plus I don't think any company starts releasing trailers for a game in such a short time as the last couple have been until they're close to being ready to releasing it. They have also said that now the only thing they're doing is polishing the game and checking it for bugs and considering the size of Bioware's games that in itself is likely to take a while which is why they're starting the promotion machines now because we don't have much longer to wait.

It's technically Spring until Wednesday 21 June 2017. Actually, it isn't even technically spring until Monday 20 March 2017.

Actually when it's Spring depends on which part of the world you live in same with any time of the year for example in Australia right now it is Summer whereas in the UK right now it is Winter we al have our seasons at different times but personally I consider June to be our Summer as that's when we have our longest day of the year and by longest I mean most amount of daylight wheras our shortest day I believe is around now a couple of days before Christmas making December winter for me. Personally I still believe that a March/April release is still the most likely right now.

Indeed at least we have our Christmas lights to cheer things up a bit.
