Mass Effect Andromeda has been delayed from its original holiday 2016 release date into Q1 2017, according to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen.

Speaking during Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, via NeoGAF, Jorgensen was asked to provide the status of EA’s upcoming non-sports games. He said Mass Effect would be coming in EA’s “fourth quarter” EA’s fiscal year ends March 31 so the game could launch sometime between January and March 2017.

“We’ve got a great year ahead. We’ve got our Battlefield first-person shooter game coming in the third quarter, and our third-party title that Respawn, our partner, built, it’s called Titanfall, it’s the second title that they brought into that brand. Both of these are first-person shooters and will be targeted around the fast, action-driver shooter market, as well as the strategy-driven market in that quarter. We have our Mirror’s Edge runner game this first quarter, and then we have Mass Effect, which is a sci-fi action game, in our fourth quarter. So big year ahead and we’re pretty excited,” Jorgensen said.

Mass Effect Andromeda was announced during EA’s E3 press conference last year, with an expected Holiday 2016 release for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Details of the games’ plot, multiplayer mode, and more were reportedly leaked in a survey.

Jorgensen’s comments also confirm Titanfall 2’s release date as a Q3 2016 release. Previously, Jorgensen said the game would launch in EA’s “fiscal ’17” but recently McFarlane Toys unveiled a line of Titanfall 2 toys expected to arrive alongside the sequel in Winter 2016.

In related Battlefield 5 news, recently DICE confirmed it is working on a new Battlefield. Other than a Holiday 2016 release date, EA has not revealed any details regarding the new Battlefield game. However, a recent retailer listing hints at the possibility of a World War I setting in Battlefield 5.

TL;DR Mass effect delayed until next year, Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5 getting releases this year.

I'm guessing that big thing of a bunch of bioware employees leaving a while back must have really affected development.

Hopefully it doesn't clash with Destiny 2.

Not that I'm sold on either yet, but still.

I'd be concerned if you were fully sold on either, as we have seen nothing about them thus far.

Exactly, not to mention their predecessors were complete horse shit.

Though ME3's MP was p 👌 and actually fixed a lot with Destiny with TTK, even if it took them a whole year.

Well, Mass Effect as a whole was pretty good as long as you just accepted it at face value and tried not to poke holes in the story. The gameplay did get better across the series though.

However, a few of the devs, including the lead writer, leaving a while back has me concerned for what's going on behind the scenes at BioWare. I hope it's not a repeat of what happened with destiny.

Delays are usually a good thing, it's better to just wait a couple of months for a much better product than scream for it ASAP and have a buggy mess come out.

What's concerning is that a number of BioWare devs left only a couple weeks ago, hinting at something going on behind the scenes. I'm kind of worried we're gonna get a destiny release here.

Also, pushing Titanfall up to Q3 when previously Respawn said they were expecting a Q1 2017 release is concerning for me.

Eh honestly if it's a trainwreck it's not going to cause me any grief.

I'd like a good game out of it sure, but if it flops -> meh

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.
I'll be dead by then though

I feel like there's only a handful of people who like the first Mass Effect.

I thought it was great. I like 2 so far, but it's just not the same.
I know what you mean. The inventory is a bit silly to navigate by late-game, but I never though the shooting mechanics were bad. I feel like it did well for what it set out to do.

Damn. But I kind of imagined this would happen. I hope there is a new Star Wars RPG in 2016 to fill the void.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

And the feel of the game. You and your crew saving the universe, disobeying orders from the bureaucrats and Alliance, it had that original Star Trek feel.
I loved the heavy 80s sci-fi aesthetic in ME1. I was really disappointed when it went generic SPESS MAHREENS in ME2.
