Mass Effect 4 Andromeda: 12 Brand New Details You Need To Know

2. Main Enemies Are A "Cross Between Vorcha & Collectors"

Whilst the earlier 2015 leak mentioned a race of enemy forces being called the Khet, alongside a more overarching Prothean-style force called the 'Remnant', more details this time round have focussed on the visuals and characteristics of the race themselves. Described as a "cross between the Vorcha and The Collectors", the Youtube leak mentions that these units actually deploy out the sky from Cerberus ships - an otherwise human-first organisation, formerly led by the Illusive Man. Assumedly the aforementioned racial comparisons are to draw a visual picture, perhaps a fairly insectoid-looking species, but with the Vorcha's gaping, razor-toothed mouths? As for that Cerberus connection, it's true their presence in the canon is far more fleshed out in the comics and books, whereas in the games they went from being enemies in one side-mission in the first game, through to the main antagonists in 2 and 3, again fronted by the Illusive Man. Perhaps Andromeda is Bioware trying yet again to establish Cerberus as a brilliant opposing force; one that should be constantly putting the player in morally ambiguous situations as they're forced to choose between what's better for the good of humanity, or just individual gain.
