Mass Effect: Andromeda: First major patch due this week

BioWare has pledged to right wrongs made by Mass Effect: Andromeda, starting with a patch this week with several improvements.

In a post on its blog, BioWare’s Aaron Flynn said his team is “poring over your comments and feedback, looking to discover what you like about the game, as well as areas we can evolve or improve.”

The game’s first major patch, due this Thursday, will address the following issues, as originally outlined by players:

  • Allowing you to skip ahead when travelling between planets in the galaxy map
  • Increasing the inventory limits
  • Improving the appearance of eyes for humans and asari characters
  • Decreasing the cost of remnant decryption keys and making them more accessible at merchants
  • Improving localized voice over lip sync
  • Fixing Ryder’s movements when running in a zig zag pattern
  • Improving matchmaking and latency in multiplayer

More patches are to come, and will address players’ concerns. This includes fan backlash over a lack of male romance options for the Scott Ryder character alongside complaints over character animations.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. We reviewed the game here.
