I slutet av Mass Effect 3 fick spelaren i rollen som Shepard göra ett, för hela galaxen, avgörande beslut. Detta kommer dock inte påverka handlingen i kommande Mass Effect: Andromeda. Detta bekräftar Biowares creative director Mac Walters i en intervju.
Han säger: "We had a lot of different ideas when we started on early concepts for what we wanted to do with the next Mass Effect game. I think, aside from the fact that we said the Mass Effect trilogy was a trilogy for Shepard's story, which we have concluded, we were very careful to make sure that big choices like that [the Mass Effect 3 finale] wouldn't impact your decisions."
Andromeda ska utspela sig flera hundra år efter handlingen i trean. Mycket mer specifika än så vill Bioware inte vara i dagsläget.
Walters fortsätter: "From that, you can probably infer the timing of when they [the Andromeda explorers] left, to a certain degree."
"We wanted Andromeda to be a fresh experience for everyone. So if you haven't played, you don't have to worry about whether you missed out on some key choice or something like that."
