At their E3 2016 press conference, Electronic Arts revealed the main character for their upcoming action-RPG Mass Effect: Andromeda. laid out the same way the Mass Effect trilogy was, players will be able to choose between a male or female Ryder, Bioware head Aaryn Flynn wanted to clarify the reason that FemRyder was the main protagonist in the trailer compared to a male lead like before. Talking with Eurogamer, heย talks about stepping away from old trends and embracing more diverse characters.

โ€œWhen we debuted male Shepard back in 2006 [forย Mass Effect], 10 years ago, it was a time when we drew inspiration from traditional entertainment marketing. So: โ€˜We need an iconic main character. We need an iconic everything else.โ€™

โ€œBut I think the whole industry, us included, have moved beyond that. Our games let you choose your main character, I think everyone gets that nowadays. You donโ€™t need to see a character identify with, in the sameย wayย you might on a movie poster. People want to create their own characters, customize them, and weโ€™re embracing that.โ€

In other words: Mass Effect: Andromeda will be inclusive for all fans. By being able to have more choices when customizing characters and game choices, ย fans will have no problem with immersion. Bioware has been flirting with the idea of having a neutral protagonist on the game’s box art just like Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Stepping away from the issue at hand, Mass Effect Andromeda will release in early 2017. Originallyย due to be out earlier this year, Bioware wanted to take the time to make sure it had time to develop and deliver the best quality product they can. After the ending fiasco of Mass Effect 3, who could blame them?

Mass Effect Andromeda is due to release March 2017 for Playstation 4, PC, and Xbox One.
