Is The 'Mass Effect Andromeda' Universe Confusing? These New Novels Will Get You On The Right Track
Jazz RosinBioware has collaborated with British publishing company Titan Books to publish four novels, which will hopefully answer all the fans' questions about the "Mass Effect" universe.
To help the developers link the stories of the "Mass Effect" games, a "Mass Effect" book series will be released. The literary works will serve as prequels and sequels that will tie in the franchise together.
The first book, titled "Mass Effect: Andromeda Initiative," will come out August 2016 and is written by NK Jemisin.
"The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms" author's works have been nominated by numerous award-giving bodies such as the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and is also a three-time Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Awardee.
The second and third books in the series will come out March 2017 and September 2017, respectively, although the authors and the official titles for both books are not disclosed yet.
The final book in the series, which does not have an official title yet, will be penned by "Mass Effect" lead writer and "Mass Effect: Andromeda" director Mac Walters.
Titan Books has included the four-part "Mass Effect" book series in its 2016 Fiction Rights Guide.
The book publisher also hold the book rights for other video game adaptations. Ubisoft's popular video game title "Dishonored" will also get its own book series and will be penned by science fiction author Adam Christopher.
Christopher is known for his sci-fi novels "The Burning Dark" and "The Elementary" book adaptations, and is said to be an avid "Dishonored" fan. The first book in the series, titled "Dishonored: The Corroded Man," will be out next month.
"Deus Ex" will also get its own novel under Titan Books. Written by The New York Times bestselling author James Swallow, "Deus Ex: Black Light" will be released in August 2016, coinciding with the release of the new video game title "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided."
"Mass Effect: Andromeda" will be released for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One in early 2017.
