Furthermore, according to Gamble, "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will focus on space exploration that will offer its gamers an Elon-Musk like perspective that would make them as questions like "I wonder if we can get here? I wonder if we can do that?"

Another thing fans should expect from "Mass Effect: Andromeda" are more types of races to join the Andromeda expedition along with new species of alien monsters and planets as they look for a new habitat for humanity.

He also teased gamers that "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will allow them to completely customize their characters. What's more is that gamers will also be able to take part in two new loyalty missions.
