Coming to stories in the US, UK, and Canada, on June 26, 2018.
Mass Effect: Annihilation, a new novel set that builds upon the story of Mass Effect: Andromeda, is coming next year.
According to Bioware’s announcement on its official blog, the tie-in book, written by Hugo Award-winning author Catherynne M. Valente, tells the story of the the Keelah Si’yah’s journey to Andromeda as it transports 20,000 quarian, batarian, drell, and elcor colonists.
A brief description of the story, courtesy of Bioware, reads: “A pathogen is discovered aboard the ark after many drell are found dead in their cryo pods. As the pathogen jumps species, the ship’s systems begin to fail, making it clear this is no accident.”
Mass Effect: Annihilation will be released in the US, UK and Canada on June 26, 2018. A couple months later, on August 28, the novel will also be available for purchase in Australia.
Bioware confirmed earlier this year that no additional single-player updates or content will be released for Mass Effect: Andromeda. For our thoughts on Bioware’s sci-fi RPG, read IGN’s Mass Effect: Andromeda review.
