Is 'Mass Effect Andromeda' Now Confirmed For March 2017 Release?
J RoseFans are a bit apprehensive about "Mass Effect: Andromeda"'s March 2017 release date. However, one retailer may have just confirmed that the game will definitely go out by that time.
Gaming retailer giant GameStop has suggested that Bioware's next "Mass Effect" title will be released before April. According to its recent earnings report, the game is said to come out on the first quarter of 2017, Gamespot reported.
This means that the title will most likely come out on the same release date window as other highly anticipated releases like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," which is also rumored to be delayed to June, "Injustice 2," and the Western movie adaptation of "Ghost in the Shell."
If this is proven to be true, then this will be great news for fans. Earlier this month, however, Electronic Arts declared that the company is willing to delay its upcoming sci-fi game "Mass Effect Andromeda" if it's deemed necessary.
"Right now, 'Mass Effect' is tracking extremely well," Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen said during an earnings call. "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 dates if we feel it's necessary to deliver the right player experience."
This was also not the first time that a delay in release date is hinted. According to Middle of Nowhere Gaming, Bioware had difficulties intertwining narrative with an open world playstyle, and has become the biggest challenge for the team, Bioware studio general manager and vice president Aaryn Flynn said.
Flynn also commented that connecting the narrative to an open world gameplay style is "a lot of work," adding that the studio has underestimated the level of difficulty this involves.
Fans can't help but hear warning bells when Flynn said that the developer has "lots more learning to do," which sparks speculation of a delay for the much-awaited game.
Stay tuned for more "Mass Effect Andromeda" news.
