Andromeda was announced on Twitter by former BioWare Edmonton executive producer Casey Hudson in November 2012. He asked, "We're in early stages of designing a completely new Mass Effect game. What would you want to see in it?"^[8] On November 12, 2012, BioWare confirmed that they are working on a new Mass Effect project and that it would use DICE's Frostbite 3 engine, much like Dragon Age: Inquisition. In March 2013, Hudson revealed at PAX East that BioWare was beginning work on the next installment in the franchise. The video game was officially announced to be under development at E3 2014 on June 9, 2014, where Andromeda was briefly shown with early conceptual footage and information. According to then BioWare community manager Chris Priestly, BioWare does not want people to refer to the next game as Mass Effect 4. This statement was followed up by BioWare Edmonton chief Yanick Roy, emphasizing that the original trilogy was concluded and they are focusing on a new story in the Mass Effect universe. On January 19, 2015, it was revealed that the next installment involved 200 developers. It was suggested that the title would not be Mass Effect 4 and that the Mako, a six-wheeled vehicle used in the first Mass Effect, would make a return in the fourth installment.A multiplayer component was also confirmed.

During EA Play, an event held by Electronic Arts in conjunction with E3 2016, a third trailer was released. This trailer contained several scenes that leaked in early April, confirming the legitimacy of those scenes and possibly of the others released along with it.

Speaking during Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media & Telecom Conference on March 2, 2016, EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen stated that Mass Effect: Andromeda's release had been delayed from its original Q4 2016 date, and will now release in Q1 2017.
