Mass Effect: Andromeda’s marketing campaign amps up with a trailer that teases the story

The next Mass Effect is coming out in less than a month, and Electronic Arts is finally showing fans more about what will happen in the game.

Mass Effect: Andromeda launches March 21 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and publisher EA is shifting into a promotional mode with a new cinematic trailer that details the story of the sci-fi role-playing epic. The clip, which you can watch above, begins with a crew of an intergalactic lifeboat arriving at a potentially habitable planet in the Andromeda galaxy. The ship does not have the resources to continue searching for a new home, so they get to work investigating the mysterious world. Naturally, a new race does not take kindly to these immigrants from the Milky Way, and this appears to set up the central conflict in BioWare’s Mass Effect: Andromeda.
