Mass Effect Andromeda developers assure fans that facial animations are still being polished

BioWare unveiled a brand new gameplay trailer at The Game Awards this week.

BioWare released an exciting new gameplay trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda at The Game Awards 2016 on 1 December, showcasing combat, exploration, character interaction, resource collection and other features fans can expect to experience in the sci-fi RPG. However, the trailer also prompted concerns from fans that the facial animations and lip-sync were not up to par.

The game's developers quickly responded to concerns via social media, reassuring fans that the game is still in development and its features are still being polished.

BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn, who presented the trailer at the event, said that Andromeda will continue to be "worked on all the way to the end."

The almost five-minute video (embedded below) featured a host of new information and footage, giving fans an extended look at the upcoming game that the developer has dubbed the biggest game BioWare has ever worked on in terms of content.

@FC_paragon We'll be polishing the game until they take it from our cold, dead hands.
