A Small Bit of News for Mass Effect Multiplayer until a Beta Arrives
We’re taking every piece of Mass Effect news like gems studding a double-edged sword. Information can work for or against developers, at least until they deliver more of what we’re hoping. As of right now, however, we get a little bit more information on how multiplayer ties to single-player. And we get this additional tidbit from Lead Designer Ian S. Frazier.
@akgeesaman @argeesaman Yup! And it’s possible to earn sp rewards in the process. 🙂 (mp doesn’t impact sp’s story like in me3, though)

Essentially, players who partake in multiplayer shall receive rewards for use in the campaign. If players don’t see themselves in coop, then they’ll simply earn in-game rewards the traditional way. So no matter where you spend most of your time, single-player or multiplayer, you will inevitably advance points for your story playthrough. Now we just need to know if there’s a difference between items.
Frazier’s statements also confirm what producer Mike Gamble has said about seamless transitions. Mass Effect: Andromeda may be ideal for gamers whose friends also enjoy the series. Although, the full extent of Multiplayer influence on single-player yet remains unknown. One facet that’s also confirmed, Multiplayer will not impact single-player at all as it did in Mass Effect 3.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is coming March 21 to Xbox One, PC, and PS4. So far, we know it will support HDR10, with reports that it will also support Dolby Vision. We expect to know more about beta and the single-player story by then. Alot more. Speculation: a multiplayer beta and demo will be released next month. From here until then, we will surely keep you updated. Happy gaming.
