'Mass Effect Andromeda' release date, news: Multiplayer and single-player connection teased; 'dynamic' gameplay detailed

"Mass Effect Andromeda" will offer a whole new experience for gamers who prefer the single-player mode. This is part of Bungie's efforts to rectify the issues players had with "Mass Effect 3."

The single-player and multiplayer modes of the highly-anticipated game will have a connection. What it is, Bungie is not yet ready to go into detail about yet, but they provided some teases during an interview with Game Informer.

Lead designer Ian Frazier teased that the one of the mission funds or currency in the "Mass Effect Andromeda" multiplayer have "tendrils going out into the rest of the game."

"You will have possibilities to send teams to complete kind of side missions, or to do it yourself in multiplayer. That's the idea," producer Fabrice Condominas added.

This means that "Mass Effect Andromeda" will not force gamers who only want single-player to also play multiplayer to get the full experience in the game. "If you feel cheated, we've done something wrong," Frazier added.

This was one of the sources of the complaints about "Mass Effect 3" and the newfound connection between the multiplayer and single-player will likely eliminate that issue in "Mass Effect Andromeda."

Meanwhile, Condominas also teased a bit of the gameplay to expect in the upcoming shooter. For one, Bungie is looking to make a more dynamic combat experience in the game by pushing players to be out in the open instead of hiding.

"Mass Effect Andromeda" will provide players with the resources to be able to deflect and survive being exposed to enemies so that hiding will not be the option to go for.

"Everything is more fluid, fast-paced, there's a lot of action going on. The controls are also more responsive. All of that is on purpose; we really wanted to increase the dynamism and how accessible it is while retaining the depth and going more into layers," Condominas explained.

"Mass Effect Andromeda" will be released sometime next year.
