'Mass Effect Andromeda' release date: Bioware dev says he ran out of space with level size

The new protagonist for "Mass Effect: Andromeda" Bioware

Massive details about "Mass Effect Andromeda" won't be revealed until this fall, so the folks over at Bioware have been easing the wait by dropping morsels of teases in social media.

On Twitter, Bioware senior tech and level designer Graham Scott teased the size of the action role-playing third-person shooter, saying that they almost run out of room with all the details they had to put in.

"Today we space'd more space than I ever thought we could space. I'd go into more detail but I fear I would run out of precious space," Scott quipped in one tweet.

From the looks of it, "Mass Effect Andromeda" will offer gamers an expansive chunk of area to explore. This does not come as a surprise though.

A previous leak suggested that that the game will be set in a far larger, uncharted part of space where new creatures and breed of aliens await.

Meanwhile, "Mass Effect Andromeda" lead designer Ian Frazier teased that one of the missions he reviewed is an "outstanding mix of humor, character, thrilling combat and unique visuals."

On the other hand, "Mass Effect" producer Michael Gamble shared a bit of information about the design of the new protagonist who is only known by the name Ryder at the moment.

"It's just an evolution in the design. Not the same set that [Mass Effect trilogy protagonist] Shepard wore," he tweeted to a fan who noticed a change in the placement of the N7 logo.

Gamble also teased the possibility of "Mass Effect Andromeda," although he is generally of the opinion of releasing such types of patches for games on their first day at the market.

"A day1 patch is a good idea 100% of the time. Means a better quality, more stable game. Disc certification is a long process. Use the time," Gamble tweeted.

"Mass Effect Andromeda" is slated for release in March 2017.
