"Mass Effects 3" was big but it now seems that the next instalment in this lineup is even bigger. As per a new revelation, the long awaited "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will come with more than 1200 characters. Moreover, all these individuals of BioWare's next big RPG will have speaking capability. This context was confirmed by the creative director Mac Walters who was attending PAX East recently.

According to VG247, while speaking about Andromeda's major features, Walters said that the players will see "over 1,200 speaking characters" which about the double to around 670 characters seen in "Mass Effect 3." He even claimed that the subtotal of the number of characters is nearly equivalent to those of "Mass Effect 2" & 3 put together. The title's producer Michael Gamble later explained that the density of characters has not only been increased quantitatively but also qualitatively. As per his note, the characters of "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will be able to talk about more stuff than the earlier instances seen in previous versions of Mass Effect lineup.

As per a report by GameSpot, "Mass Effect: Andromeda" has also been equipped with a larger scale of squad building attributes besides all its above-mentioned features. The players will be able to encounter new characters in Andromeda by scoring "Andromeda Viability" points, which also lets one wake up colonists. In addition to this, the planets also have different viability levels. When one scores high enough in this viability levels then he/she will even be able to create his/her own outpost. There are several other exclusive attributes to be unlocked in each level and segments of the game.

"Mass effect: Andromeda" will officially debut on March 21, 2017, as per the earlier declarations made by the game's publisher: BioWare. However, the players who are unwilling to wait for that long, can start their excitement with a 10-hour trail edition beginning on March 16, exclusively for EA/Origin Access members on Xbox One and PC platforms.
