Mass Effect Andromeda Launches On March 21 - Nomad Plays Huge Role According To Bioware

"Mass Effect Andromeda" has over 100 planets to discover. Each destination provides its own story, heroes, and mysteries.

A recent gameplay teaser revealed the improved function of the Nomad. It is the main vehicle used for traveling in "Mass Effect Andromeda". The Nomad now features better handling and a larger turbo among other things.

All about 'Mass Effect Andromeda'

According to Gamespot, "Mass Effect Andromeda" concentrates on the "exploration" element. The video released last March 3 also mentioned about the "forward station". This feature is meant to provide a fast-travel point for players. In it, they can also change their loadout or summon their Nomads from various locations.

On the other hand, "Mass Effect Andromeda" dropped its multiplayer beta. Nonetheless, PAX East attendees can still try it next week. Meanwhile, EA subscribers will be given access to the multiplayer tester on March 16 with a 10-hour beta.

For the record, "Mass Effect Andromeda" officially debuts on March 21 for Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4. The main goal of the game is to discover and move around the maps as much as possible. As the narrator in the teaser clip said, "Andromeda" is all about "the choices you make and the places you go."

Mass Effect Andromeda: The Nomads

As exploration dominates the gameplay of "Mass Effect Andromeda", the Nomads would definitely play a vital role in every player's success. Apparently, a particular planet becomes more vulnerable if players travel more. For one thing, the game takes fans to a planet called Elaaden.

The "aliens" in Elaaden are most likely Krogans. It is described to be a hostile place with extreme heat and lack of water. Do note that the more gamers explore and help the planet, the more it becomes viable in "Mass Effect Andromeda".

In the process, players will gain the trust of Krogans in "Mass Effect Andromeda". This will eventually result in the ability to build an outpost and upgrade the Nexus. The latter, according to VG24/7, however, requires at least a 40 percent viability of the planet.
