While Bioware may be giving the Mass Effect franchise a bit of a break over the next couple of years, it looks like we can still expect some new content for Andromeda. During the opening hours of Mass Effect: Andromeda, some dialogue sets up a new race, the Quarians, who do not appear later on in the game. However, this week, their arrival was teased, hinting that we may get some new single-player content soon.
Quarians had their journey to the Andromeda galaxy delayed, which is why they don't appear in the rest of the game. However, as Eurogamer points out, during this week's multiplayer APEX briefing, the Quarians were hinted to once again. Here is the transmission received from what sounds like the Quarian ark: “Trying to boost the signal. Unknown if… tech seems to be helping even if we don't know the… back to Keelah Si'yah. …way home.”
The Keelah Si'yah is the name of the ark the Quarians are travelling to Andromeda on. The appearance of the ark is also hinted at during the main game itself, so it definitely seems like Bioware is intending to revisit this plot thread at a later date.
At the moment, we don't know if this latest tease was planted prior to Bioware putting Mass Effect on hold. However, given that past games have received single-player DLC, it wouldn't be abnormal for Andromeda to also receive some post-launch content. Perhaps we'll learn more in a few weeks time.
KitGuru Says: While Mass Effect: Andromeda had some problems, I really enjoyed it myself. I'm sure there are others who feel the same and would revisit the game should new content arrive. Hopefully this latest tease actually leads to something but it has come at a rather confusing time given the recent news surrounding the series going on hiatus.
Yeah finally some positive news.
Without Quarians, Volus (*cough* Niftu Cal *cough*), Drell or ‘jellyfish’ Hanar MEA is very shallow (lack of better word) experience. Certainly its not complete ME Universum and I bet a lot of folks wait to finally see Quarians without environmental suits en masse.
Heck I would be glad even to see Batarians if one or two sneaked in somehow.
Just hope no Vorcha stowed away they repopulate like rodents
I’m fine with the series going on hold to better develop the heleus cluster narrative, but they better give us DLC to tie up the obvious loose threads(Granted they were not story breaking) they left in the game that had me wanting to learn more.
i’m still expecting thresher maws. you know the krogan brought some of those spores.
First the company tells the public “Possible DLC for multiplayer”. Ok, that’s cool. However, then it’s released in statements “Because of “Mass Effect: Andromeda’ News: No DLC After Recent BioWare Studio Shakeup”. Now, talk of DLC.
I’m looking forward to it when it happens, if at all.
Like BioWare announced with the “Release Date”. Pushed from 2016 to end of 2017. Then Realease Date was jumping around.
So much confusion ?
I would hate there not being any DLC.
When you consider that quarians, elcor, drell, volus and hanar are all on that “missing ark” I suspect EA is aware there will undoubtedly be complaints that half of all the non-enemy races would only be available in the game if you bought this DLC. Considering the fact that there were already enough problems with MEA to put the franchise on hiatus, they may think it’s pushing their luck to prompt even more bad press.
