Electronic Arts Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen said from the outlet, “We’ve got a great year ahead”, while announcing the lineup of games expected for future releases.

Other than the trailer, BioWare Montreal, the studio developing the game, has been rather tight-lipped regarding plot details and just about anything else related to Mass Effect: Andromeda.
By “our fourth quarter” Jorgensen is referring to EA’s fourth financial quarter, which runs from 1 January 2017 to 31 March 2017, confirming the game won’t arrive until next year.
Mass Effect: Andromeda was originally revealed as a prototype back in 2014 but it was officially announced at E3 past year.
Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5 will release in Q4 2016. Based on the recent announcement confirmed by EA Games, you wouldn’t be seeing the games on the shelves until the first quarter of 2017. And if that means they are less bugged and better for it, who are we to argue?
No hard date was given in the statement, but it’s expected that we’ll hear much more information about the game, at one of the big gaming conferences later this year.

You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw. A sequel, Mass Effect 2, surfaced in 2010, and the franchise’s initial trilogy wrapped up in 2012 with the multiplatform launch of Mass Effect 3. Which is pretty good news for shooter fans. “There’s no cannon on it, maybe it can hover maybe it can jump – I don’t know”, said producer Mike Gamble. “With the time remaining in development, we’re excited about the possibility to push things even more”.
