"Mass Effect" fans are looking forward to November, which is tagged as the N7 Day by game developer Bioware. The studio has released the first "Mass Effect: Andromeda" cinematic trailer and revealed the game's plot, as well as gameplay details.

The game trailer featured a lot of space exploration, shootouts, and a villain that needs to be feared. It also featured the male twin, Scott, one of the two playable in-game characters. The objective of the game is to find a new home. Players will then have to make their way to the Andromeda galaxy and investigate the Heleus cluster if there will be a place where different alien races could live in.

"Take the role of the Pathfinder, leading humanity's search for a new home in this unexplored and unforgiving region of space. You'll chart your own course, navigating the Andromeda galaxy to unravel its mysteries, discover vivid alien worlds, and lead the charge to find the human race a new home among the stars. You'll be able to upgrade and customize your gameplay experience with a deep and flexible progression system, and lead your squad into action-packed combat using advanced weaponry, special abilities, and more than a few new tricks," reads the description on the game's website.

"Mass Effect: Andromeda" will also feature returning characters, although they will not be affecting the outcome of the game. They are there for companionship on the exploration missions that players will partake. The studio also revealed that there will also be a romantic relationship between the asari PeeBee and Liam, from the Pathfinder team (the player's race), according to IGN.

The report also mentioned that the upcoming game will be combining two combat systems for its co-op feature. The system was similar to "Mass Effect 3," and will provide a "more dynamic and action-oriented" gaming experience. This is according to Fabrice Condominas, the game producer.

"Mass Effect: Andromeda" is coming in spring 2017 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
