Mass Effect Andromeda is never coming out – at this juncture, we're convinced that BioWare employees are merely going to continue tweeting about how amazing it is until the end of time. Still, we suppose the title did put in an appearance during Sony's big PlayStation 4 Pro press conference, and there's also N7 Day [Grumble – Ed] and PlayStation Experience to come. We could get a release date before Christmas yet.
Of course, cyber sleuths think that they already know the launch day. Amazon originally updated with a placeholder 31st March window for the title, which was probably wrong. But now Dark Horse Comics has plumped up with a 21st March release date for the game's official art book, which just so happens to be a Tuesday, when most major blockbusters deploy in North America. It would make sense for the hardcover to accompany the sci-fi outing, we suppose.
This isn't fool-proof by any stretch, though, and you should probably wait for additional information to filter out of publisher EA, rather than trying to piece together "leaks" like this. It's just not what Shepard would do.

I thought in the company report it had a release date before the next financial year?
@dryrain Yup, which 21st March would fit.
Absolutely top pun in the title.
Regardless of when it comes out it will be a day one purchase for me. It's hands down the game I'm most excited for.
No worries. Call the whole thing off and give me another Dragon Age. Cheers.
I never like the association between a release date and a financial year... which goes to prove us internet users are never happy. I never played any Mass Effect (shock/horror) but probably won't ever go back to the last gen to play however I would love to dive in.
As someone said in a previous article, take whatever date they give you and add 6 months to it.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Did you play DAI? Giant, empty maps, tons of grinding, useless AI partners, tedious UI, a terrible inventory and crafting system, and ubisoft level fetch/kill quests...you really want another one of those?
2017 is going to be one of the best in Gaming. Come on!
But ...but I have to play Persona 5. And Zelda. Horizon is definitely off my list for a while if Mass Effect comes up ;_;
@Napples sorry you feel that way, I tend to disagree with everything you said and loved it.
@napples I loved DAI You need to manage you team swap characters where needed. I never had to grind. Nothing wrong with the inventory. I will agree that the crafting was not the best but apart from that it was a very solid game.
@Napples I loved it! There are aspects of it that are superior to The Witcher 3, even if in the end that game overshadowed it.
@Napples If he liked what he played then of course he would.
Looking at that Asari pic make my eyes funny.
