Mass Effect 4: 12 Brand New Features You Need To Know About

1. The First New Character From Seven Crew Member Slots - Drack

As we're seeing with the questionable Joker design released for 2016's Suicide Squad - first impressions are very important.

Thankfully, Bioware known which races and characters people warmed to, and although it's not confirmed that the mentioned Krogan character of Drack is the one in the preliminary footage shown last year, it's very likely, especially as he's the one referred to in the aforementioned convoy that you can opt to protect.

Either way, just the nomenclature out there - from the Khet patrols to the Tempest ship and companion Drack - points to a hard sci-fi tone that's being taken seriously, and with the leak also mentioning of seven slots to be filled that'll make up your crew (another being a biotic called Cora), it'll let the team focus on making sure every single one is incredibly memorable and worth exploring the galaxy with.

It seems like Bioware know exactly what they're doing this time round, so let us know in the comments what you think of the new direction, and if there's anything else out there we missed!
