I stumbled upon a youtube video from today that dug up some interesting details leaked by WindowsCentral. A premise of ME:A was posted in an article about Microsoft's games prescence, and it revealed more details than what we've heard so far... shortly after the article was published the Andromeda details were edited out.

"EA revealed Mass Effect Andromeda at E3 earlier this year to rapturous applause.

The new game takes place in the Andromeda galaxy, which is over 2 million light years beyond our own Milky Way. In Mass Effect Andromeda, you play as a galactic explorer charting unknown worlds. This mission takes you to Andromeda, ten solar years after the events of Mass Effect 3."

 

If you're in doubt, a solar year is simply a year calculated by the time on Earth, implying that relativity of time might be different in Andromeda.

Good catch but pure hogwash, I'm afraid. Here's is my take.

 

The new galaxy is 2M light years away. Ten solar years after the ME3 events would find the ARK still in the MW galaxy.

 

Besides, whether it's ten or a thousand, makes no difference to the crew now in the Andromeda galaxy. It's like the hot argument in the Middle Ages about how many angels fit on the head of a pin.

 

Also, the ME Lore mentioned no inter galactic travel. Arguing how the ARKCON crew got there is pointless, as Bio can easily put in the CODEX an experimental Worm Hole tech that proved  to be one way and was fast enough to pop the ARKCON colony ships out ten years later. 

 

My point?

Regardless of how wise or time wise it happened, the premise of the game won't change a bit.  Racewise, I'd be inclined to believe that only those races with enough know how and resources that put time, money and resources into the ARKCON project would have representatives in the crew.

 

This limits the races to Humans, Solarians, Asari and Turians. The Krogans would be seen as necessary tank warriors.

[Kmaru]

It would be nice to see humans, as invaders, in ME:A. That also means humans = new race in that galaxy.

The information is not confirmed, i agree it will explain things about the weapons and technology used in Andromeda.

Humans could easily be the invaders in MA:A.  We are playing them going to the Andromeda galaxy for the first time.  So all our favs Human, Turian, Asari, Krogan.  We will all be invaders in Andromeda.

Agreed. I volunteer to be the first Invader...One.... (bad joke...had to do it though)

[Kabooooom]

I really hope they left off a zero or something and it isn't THAT close to ME3. A lot of people here have done some good work on elucidating how long things would take with current tech to get to Andromeda, what methods would/would not break the lore or would/would not be considered acceptable to the fan base - and I was somewhat hopeful that Bioware would glean some ideas from that discussion so that they wouldn't **** their own lore up. But I suppose that was naive.

[FlyingSquirrel]

I don't think it much matters if, in fact, the idea is to make a clean break from the Shepard trilogy. If an "experimental wormhole" gets them there in 10 years, then Bioware can just establish that it collapsed shortly after and the crew realize this is now a one-way trip with no chance to communicate with the Milky Way any time soon. One way or another, they can cook up some pseudoscience to get around it.

[Gramorla]

in fakt... there is nowhere stated from bioware, that there a "clean break" or no way of communication between milkyway and andromeda. Just that there are no main NPCs of ME 1-3 in ME:A. (also no old companions). Everything else is pure speculation.

 

I have no fixed opinion on this... lets see what N7 day brings on new information

[Ahglock]

I doubt we will be invaders. I expect this cliche, e show up and meet friendly but not combat capable natives and we bond. Evil race attacks and we defend the nice people and step up to gather resources to defeat evil race to protect all the nice people in our new galaxy. As seen in star gate Atlantis and countless other sci fi books, shows, movies.

[Linkenski]

The way I see it is, it's in a new galaxy so there's going to be completely new lore no matter what, and it's going to be isolated from the events of the trilogy in a big way anyway. I personally want it to be completely fresh and from scratch but I just dislike the sound of "centuries after the trilogy". The main thing that makes this game appealing to me is that it won't have to deal with the mistakes of the past, but that in itself is already accomplished when you move into a new setting. I don't want the technology itself to be overdone, because I like the kind of futuristic setting of the trilogy. In fact, I think it was perfect in terms of the technology we had.

[InterrogationBear]

I still think there won't be an ark launched before or during ME3.

 

Premise will be something like this:

 

[insert random number between 10 and 100] years after the Reaper war, Earth and the colonies are still devastated. Human scientists discover an ancient jumpgate/wormhole/stargate that leads to the Andromeda galaxy. An exploration mission to the new galaxy is launch to find a new home for humanity. Earth 2.

[Ahriman]

If it's true then wormhole theory it is, not my favourite one, but ok.

Well everything is possible. But something important, what would alliens (natice) think when suddenly there is some "Alliens"(humans) with strange shape appears in front of them. Language will probably not be the same, and technologies too.

 

What would u think if a bizarre creature just pop up, and starting to move hear and there with strange noise?

 

I just hope that we won't end in some alliens stomach. Cause we can be candy or the equivalent of a tasty fruit to them.

Or be considered as some cute pets.

 

Everything is possible. To think that everyone will be friendly to humans will be utopy.

[Linkenski]

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say whatever theories we may have cooked up, whether it's ARK or Wormhole, I don't think Andromeda will ever account for them in their minutiae so deeply. I think any hardcore follower of either theory will end up feeling like Andromeda seems dumb because it probably will take a much easier way out.

Your'e spot on regarding weapons tech. At least, that's what the cinematic trailor suggets.

It depends on what 10 years after ME3 means. If it means ten years after ME3's endings, well, this would make sense to me even though it is unlikely. It spawns more ideas and possibilities if it happens after the endings. By all accounts in the original endings to ME3, the mass effect relay's were rebuilt/repaired. I wouldn't be surprise if the ability to repair/rebuild Mass Effect relays came with the ability to make improvements on Mass Effect relays. Following this logic it is probably possible for the Milky Way races to build a more powerful Mass Effect relay with the power to send them to another galaxy.

 

If it has nothing to do with the endings, it probably doesn't change much. The ten year's could mean anything if it is not referring to the endings. Most general would be 'ten year's since we had to leave the Milky way for whatever reason'.

 

With the details being edited out, I doubt it is true.

Yes, but I feel that speculating about there being a clean break is very reasonable speculation, considering that very speculation is what allowed us to predict that the setting would move to Andromeda over a year before the official announcement, lol.

I doubt completely abandoning the prior setting was a lucky guess on our behalf. If they didn't want a clean break, then the game would be in the Milky Way - simple as that.

[Jen-Yu]

      there will be no cannon ending,so ME:A takes place 10 solar years after the events of ME:3?  this just doesn't make any sense.

Your argument here doesn't make sense either. What does time even have to do with whether ME3's ending choices are canon at all? It may be 10 years after the events of 3, but we're 2k lightyears away into another galaxy, which is not affected by the Crucible no matter what ending you choose.

[shodiswe]

Sounds like retracted erronous information, which was retracted. Sometimes people mix things up.

[Gramorla]

from the rgb endings it's only the sythesis ending which requires more ... declaration, when the action take place so far away from the milkyway. Provided the ppl in adromeda travel to the andromeda galaxy, after the events of ME3. no matter how they have travel to andromeda.

 

The refusal ending is in my opinion more a chicane which will probably not work as keep/saveimport - basis.

[Giantdeathrobot]

I doubt too much time as passed since the original trilogy, if only because they are apparently using the exact same weapons and armor as in the Milky Way. Or at least, this means the expedition probably departed somewhere in the timeframe of said original trilogy. Who knows how much time has passed since then.

[Lvl20DM]

If some kind of special relay is found, then it doesn't really matter how much time has passed. And as long as a relay is found that leads somewhere with unique technology or resources, that's all the motivation people need to explore and colonize.

[Killroy]

The author of the article doesn't even know where he got that "10 solar years" line(and has since removed it from the article) and using solar years as the measurement of time passed makes no sense. A solar year is not a galactic-ly qualitative term and years in the Mass Effect universe meta discussion(advertisement, articles, etc) have never been referred to as anything other than years. Suddenly using a pointless qualifier wouldn't make any sense.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I hope this is true. I much prefer we leave after the Reaper War than before or during.
