It's time to meet the core team of heroes for BioWare's upcoming Mass Effect game, Mass Effect: Andromeda. And by "meet the team," I mean, "decide which of these super-cute space hunks you plan to romance."

During last night's Game Awards, a brand new trailer for the hotly-anticipated Mass Effect: Andromeda was released. So let's go over it with a fine-toothed comb, shall we?

This new Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer has me in full-blown ugly cry mode.

In what could easily be a commercial pulled from the Mass Effect universe itself, Bioware has announced the Andromeda Initiative, a mysterious program that you can sign up for starting today.

BioWare boss Aaron Flynn commented on their recent Mass Effect: Andromeda lead character reveal at E3 2016 a few weeks ago.

“You’re different from anyone I’ve met. I think I could find more than happiness with you, but my self-control is who I am. Don’t pursue this, please.”

Potential footage from the new game popped up online last night, and while it's apparently from 2014, meaning that it may not even be an accurate representation of what we can look forward to as far as gameplay is concerned--one has to wonder, judging by the numerous takedown notices on YouTube by Electronic Arts, if it may not be so far off the mark after all.

Listen, if you've ever played a BioWare game before, then you know exactly what it's like to get all hecked up on the feels.

I return to the Winter Palace to partially warn them about the likely future attack, though Maker knows none of them deserve it. In many respects, I wish I hadn't. Leliana tells us there are gaatlok explosives in every noble's house just waiting to be set off. One word and the Qun will have Southern Thedas scrambling. It’ll be a fucking nightmare. I might not come back from the Crossroads if this happens.

I'm sat in the hall with the Exalted Council. It’s a shit show. Neither Ambassador is truly on our side and even Josephine, bless her diplomatic heart, can barely keep up with them. I can’t help but let my head slide tantalisingly close to the desk in front of me. If I just started whacking my forehead against it maybe all of this needless banter and debate would stop.

I’ve been summoned from my scheduled two weeks of rest by a missive from the Deep Roads. Apparently, the Orzammar Dwarves are in dire need of help after constant earthquakes have uncovered and opened passages for the Darkspawn to break through. I swear and throw things around my rooms while I get ready, but by the time I reach the elevator to take us down to the Deep Roads, I’m a little calmer. Far better to deal with the Darkspawn now than when they crawl onto the surface.

The official village seal of a small town in upstate NY made headlines this week, due in part to an ongoing investigation by Jessica Williams of The Daily Show.

We head back to camp to tell Professor Kenric what the spirit has told us about Inquisitor Ameridan. Trustworthy or not, it’s all we could find on the island. Kenric nearly creams his pants. He’d heard of Telana before but no one was sure she ever actually existed. Apparently she was a Mage and Ameridan’s lover. Are we really believing that the spirit was telling the truth?

Early the next morning, I'm woken up by Josephine and an entourage of servants to dress me. Though I scowl, there's really little I can do under Josephine's watchful, calculating eye. She tells me I’ve been summoned to the Exalted Plains to help with a few problems because apparently nothing in Thedas can be accomplished without my direct involvement.

It’s difficult to think straight, let alone sleep, while these voices whisper in my head.

Solas tells me he sat beside me while I slept in the prison so he could study the anchor. Apparently Dream!Solas is even creepier than the real thing. He tells me Cassandra threatened to have him executed if he didn’t produce results. Of course she did. That’s just like Cassandra; even in my dreams she would do anything, say anything to get what she needs.

Electronic Arts and California’s Great America have partnered up on planning an interactive ride based on BioWare's Mass Effect games, which will incorporate "cutting-edge 3D technology and 4D effects."
