With less than a fortnight to go before "Mass Effect Andromeda" arrives to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, BioWare is rolling out as much marketing material to get fans excited about the upcoming action RPG and exploration game. The latest video to come from the studio is of the Nomad, a vehicle that players will have to board in order to go exploring the planets. The Nomad is the revamped vechile that replaces the game's Mako, and in this new video, players will have a closer look at its new features.

Introducing The Nomad

As BioWare releases a new video in preparation for "Mass Effect Andromeda," players can see how the Nomad can be called remotely from wherever players are, as long as they have a forward operating base. The vehicle will then take off and head to any location a player desires, and help mine resources.

The video also sheds some light on the upgrades of the Nomad vehicle such as the six-wheel drive that lets players scale steep areas. Players can also look forward to the handbreak for improved control, extra shields for more protection, and improved boost for speed.

Relationships In "Mass Effect Andromeda"

According to Eurogamer, "Mass Effect Andromeda" will also place importance in relationships, as it will reward players for "completing a romance" with "three different characters across all playthroughs." We previously reported that the bedroom scenes in the game are "pretty good," and that remains to be seen when the game arrives this March 21.

Meanwhile, Gamespot reported that the EA/Origin Access programs on Xbox One and PC will hold a free trial of "Mass Effect Andromeda" beginning Mar. 16. This will last for 10 hours and will let players get a taste of both multiplayer and single player in select missions.
