Gamble adds that he would much prefer calling it an “exploration-based game” with an effectively-woven story. Relating to its structure, it is supposed that “Mass Effect: Andromeda” would be following the narrative of the previous entries within the “Mass Effect” franchise.

Initially released in 2007, the “Mass Effect” series had been originally set as a trilogy revolving around a soldier referred to as Commander Shepard. His mission is to save the galaxy from the Reapers a destructive race of mechanical beings. It has since then grown into a rich universe which had extended into other forms of media. Hitting shelves on May 24th, 2017, Dark Horse’s “Mass Effect: Discovery” is a comic book series that follows a young Turian military recruit who goes undercover to infiltrate the mysterious Andromeda Initiative. The first four issues of the comic book was penned by writer Jeremy Barlow and drawn by artists Fabriel Guzman and Michael Atiyeh.
