BioWare’s new addition to the popular space shooting RPG is almost here, but new details about the game are still coming out. In fact, the developer just released a new trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda, which features what appears to a new version of Garrus. The game’s lead designer also revealed a few more details with regards to the game’s multiplayer mode and how it’s related to the solo campaign.
Jaal is basically the group member representative of the new alien species that the travelers find in the Andromeda galaxy called the Angara. Big, brutish, and purple, the Angara are unmistakably capable of inflicting quite a bit of damage. Based on the new trailer featuring Jaal, it seems that there is plenty of potential for a Shepard/Garrus-like bromance to start developing, PC Gamer notes.
According to what ME Andromeda writer Cathleen Rootsaert said in the video, however, it seems Jaal is the opposite of Garrus in terms of how they handle emotions. Whereas the fan favorite Turian is notably taciturn, Jaal is a little more open, which is apparently an Angaran trait.
"The Angara as a species are very free with their emotions, they are very, 'larger than life',” Rootsaert explained. “They love you, they hug you—They hate you, you made them mad, they punch you in the face. Even their own family members," writer Cathleen Rootsaert explains in the video. "They're very large and demonstrative."
On the matter of the multiplayer’s ties to the single player campaign, Ian Frazier says that it’s all about the so-called “Strike Teams,” Gamespot reports. These are basically a group of grunts that the players can send to do missions that they are too busy to get into themselves. The missions are also seamlessly integrated into the single player mode, which allows players to get rewards from both versions.
"When you finish it, you get all the normal multiplayer rewards as if you had picked [multiplayer] from the main menu, but you'll also get the rewards associated with the mission back in single-player," Frazier said.
