Don’t expect Mass Effect Andromeda news on N7 Day says Bioware

mass-effect-andromeda-n7-day

That time of the year when everybody puts on their N7 hoodie and starts replaying the Mass Effect trilogy is almost here. N7 Day was invented by developer Bioware in order to give us a yearly reminder of just how awesome the series is, so you better prepare yourself because you’ll be hearing a lot about Mass Effect this Saturday. Unfortunately, it seems like the focus will probably be on the trilogy instead of Mass Effect Andromeda because Bioware revealed in a new blog post that there will be no “major announcements” regarding the upcoming title on N7 Day.

Presumably, this means no trailer, plot details or anything else of importance, which is a bit strange if you ask me since this would be a perfect opportunity to announce something new about Mass Effect Andromeda. Then again, the developer did say there won’t be any major announcements, so maybe there will be some minor ones? Either way, N7 Day is just around the corner and we’ll be able to find out what Bioware is planning in just a few short days.

Now, just because the developer won’t talk much (or at all) about Mass Effect Andromeda this Saturday, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye on all the other activities scheduled for N7 Day. First off, Bioware will be hosting a livestream marathon on Twitch in an attempt to help raise money for the Extra Life charity. The developers will be playing the Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC and you can apparently chat with them and maybe even win some prizes if you tune in, so make sure you keep an eye out on that. The stream will kick off this Saturday at 9am PST and you will be able to watch it at this link right here.

For a chance to win even more mystery prizes, also make sure to follow the Bioware and Mass Effect Twitter accounts. Also, it seems there will be some limited-time deals on N7 merch over on the Bioware store and there’s even an N7 limited edition Loot Crate that you can pre-order right now and have it at your doorstep just in time for Christmas. Although you can already pre-order the crate, its contents have not been revealed, however, I’m willing to bet good money that there’s some pretty cool stuff inside.

Although George has many hobbies, he likes nothing more than to play around with cameras and other photography equipment.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
