The fourth installment of the Mass Effect series is slated to be released in the fourth quarter of 2016 for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC versions. Game developer BioWare is making necessary modifications in the game environment to the delight of ME fans. However, game designer announced that Commander Shepard will not be a part of the game.    

According to Aarati Shah of Christian Post, Jos Hendricks, BioWare's Level and Tech Designer has been reading and analyzing the feedbacks and comments of the fans. He considered these feedbacks and comments as critical especially in the improvement of the environment of the game.  

Hendricks was quoted through his Twitter account, said, "I have found that it's actually pretty handy to try and draw out a mission in top-down rough lay-out sketch to break down story beats. #space."

Christian Post also wrote that there is no qualm the Mass Effect 4: Andromeda backdrop between stages is being revised. This will give smooth transitions between scenes for slicker and distinctive gameplay experience.

Rumor blowout that fans may grip a galaxy without Commander Shepard.

Crossmap reported that while the ME4 has new characters and new maps for its multiplayer mode, the biggest bearing is the element that Commander Shepard will not be in this franchise. The players will see a revamped Mako.

The site also added what Creative Director Mac Walters have said:

"We're working to bring back some of that wonder and sense of exploration that we had in the original trilogy. And while we're making a next-gen title, we want to ensure that we're stepping our game up so that this isn't just Mass Effect with shiny new features. And we do that by having deep characters and a compelling story with choices that matter. With Shepard, you arrived on the scene as a hero, and you were called forward from there. For the next Mass Effect, however, we've been looking at more of a hero's journey: how you become a legend and what it takes to get there."

Meanwhile, Vine Report wrote that fans are excited to see the graphics of the three games remastered to become more enjoyable in the new generation consoles. Also fans would like to hear updates about ME 4.

Mass Effect: Andromeda will be available apparently on the fourth quarter of next year with improved game environment, new maps and new characters.
