Of course, the best case scenario would be a gameplay trailer along with a firm release date for the sci-fi sequel, and considering past comments have pegged the title for an early 2017 release, we can’t imagine a better time to give fans a concrete release window than today.

Besides a tech demo showing Andromeda running on 4K by way of Sony’s PS4 Pro reveal, we’ve not been given much else since besides a call to arms for the ‘Andromeda Initiative’ (above video).

Keep an eye out on EA’s Twitter page from 3pm PST onward though for a first look at whatever the publisher has up its sleeve.

As an aside, VG247 reports that US retailer Best Buy has leaked the box art for Mass Effect: Andromeda ahead of an official reveal. No release date is provided, but listings for a $69.99 Deluxe Edition on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are present. See below for the product details provided by the retailer.
