Nerd News | Mass Effect Andromeda play video

As a huge fan of the original Mass Effect trilogy—it's the first video game series I played all the way through, and I loved it so much I immortalized it in tattoo form—I am super excited about this:

I've known for a while that this was coming, but until yesterday¹ hadn't really seen what the game was going to look like. It doesn't really give much context as to what the larger story will be, of course, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it regardless.

Also of interest:

• Older news, but: Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) will play Lara Croft in the upcoming video game adaptation.
• FX has ordered a new X-Men series, Legion. The series will focus on David Haller, Professor X's son.
• John Boyega has been cast as the lead—and Stacker Pentecost's (Idris Elba) son—in Pacific Rim 2.
