There's only a little over two months before BioWare's "Mass Effect Andromeda" drops to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Ahead of its scheduled release, however, BioWare is already rolling out new information about the upcoming RPG third-person shooter video game. The latest news surrounding the upcoming "Mass Effect Andromeda" is that the studio released a new video showing gamers everything you need to know about the new Tempest and Nomad.

The Tempest and Nomad are two key vehicles that gamers will often use in "Mass Effect Andromeda." According to GameSpot, the Tempest is a spaceship that replaces the Normandy from the original "Mass Effect" trilogy. In the new video released by BioWare via EA's Andromeda Initiative, gamers will notice a narration by pilot Kalla Jath, who discusses the technological capabilities of the Tempest.

Jath also tells gamers everything you need to know about the new Tempest and Nomad. According to Polygon, the Tempest also features the Nomad, a six-wheeler, all-terrain vehicle that will be used to explore the planets gamers will land on in "Mass Effect Andromeda." The Nomad is capable of scanning a planet's natural resources and sending out mining drones to collect these valuable items.

The Nomad looks like an awesome upgrade from the Mako rover, and like its predecessor, the Nomad is also equipped with a forward boost, as well as downward-facing thrusters. That's all you need to know about the new Tempest and Nomad for now. In other "Mass Effect Andromeda" news, new gameplay footage was released during last week's CES event.

Meanwhile, BioWare continues to roll out new information via the Andromeda Initiative hub. Through this marketing initiative, gamers can earn exclusive in-game rewards just by signing up and watching the videos. That's everything you need to know about the new Tempest and Nomad so far. "Mass Effect Andromeda" arrives on March 21.
