Mass Effect Andromeda Launch Trailer: 22 Things You Must See

22. Pre-Launch

The trailer opens with a pre-launch shot of your chosen Ryder, viewing Earth one last time from a window seat of the Hyperion, right before the Andromeda Initiative embarks on their journey into the unknown.

This is evidently the literal opening of Mass Effect Andromeda, an introduction and setup for the entire premise of the game and judging by the fact your Ryder is suited up with their helmet, before you have even chosen how to customise your character.

Then there’s a shot that we’re all familiar with. The Ark Hyperion is seen docked in some of infrastructure with a fleet of shuttles heading in its direction.

No doubt, this builds up a montage of introductory shots that will give the player full disclosure over the Andromeda Initiative, how it was set up, how it connects with the known Mass Effect universe and ultimately giving players a nostaligic moment of seeing familiar aspects before plunging you into a brand new galaxy.
