EA's sequel to "Mas Effect 3" is about to drop next month. Heres the latest on "Mass Effect: Andromeda".
"Mass Effect: Andromeda": more information on Liam and Cora
New crew profiles have appeared on the "Mass Effect: Andromeda" official website. This teased fans more on details about two of the human members of the Pathfinder Team aboard Ark Hyperion (via GameSpot).
Including the characters' physical stats like height, weight, species, among others, games learn that Liam Kosta is a crisis response specialist with civilian tactical training. Apparently, he's an idealist who is willing to take risks for the good of the Pathfinder Initiative. By,risks we assume that this will involve his combat skills. In addition, Kosta is a fan of is overclocked dual omni-blades, as well as using his jump jet to leap headlong into the fray.
Another "Mass Effect: Andromeda" character is Cora Harper. She spent a bulk of her time working closely with an Asari commando unit. Also Harper is second in command to Pathfinder Alec Ryder, and tends to bring a shotgun into combat. She uses her Biotic Charge ability to close the distance with unwitting foes.
"Mass Effect: Andromeda": EA's expectations on sales
Meanwhile, according to VG 24/7, EA is expecting that "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will sell roughly 3 million copies in the game's first few days of release. The company disclosed something interesting about the upcoming title and what makes it in a unique position is because it comes out just days before the end of the fourth quarter and the FY2017 as a whole.
This made investors question if the larger part of revenue will be computed in the new fiscal year, as opposed to the fourth quarter. EA executive Blake Jorgensen said that sales during the fourth quarter will make up between 30 to 50 percent of the game's lifetime total.
The title's predecessor, "Mass Effect 3" sold 6 million units overall, according to Jorgensen, which means "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will probably shift 3 million copies before the end of the quarter. This is the first time EA has openly spoken about sales potential of the game.
"Mass Effect: Andromeda" comes out on March 21 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Did you play "Mass Effect 3"? Will you be getting a copy of "Mass Effect: Andromeda"?
