Today the Andromeda Initiative calls on brave explorers to take their first steps on a 600-year journey to find a new home. A new welcome and orientation video gives recruits a briefing on the Arks which will transport the races of the Milky Way to the new galaxy, as well as details on the Nexus and the Pathfinders who will be leading the mission. The opening of the Andromeda Initiative also coincides with the release of the official cinematic reveal trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. In it, fans will discover the first story details, as well as glimpses of the game’s protagonists and some crew members. Those eager for more information can look forward to the world gameplay reveal coming in December.
