Bioware developers are taking to Twitter to share bits of details about "Mass Effect Andromeda." The studio has always been coy about the title as the development progresses, careful not to give too much away.

One tweet by a Bioware-level designer teased that "Mass Effect Andromeda" will involve surprise attacks from the opponent presumably as the player goes about the voyage. "Enemy ambush encounters really don't script themselves I'll have you know," he teased.

Meanwhile, "Mass Effect" producer Mike Gamble gushed about the beauty of "Mass Effect Andromeda" teasing fans in one of his tweets that they would do the same when they see the game. "It's awesome that I don't want go home to play the latest AAA blockbuster because at work we are making one of our own," he tweeted.

Specific details about "Mass Effect Andromeda" have always been kept secret. But more information about the upcoming action role-playing third-person shooter should be available soon.

Bioware has confirmed its "Mass Effect Andromeda" presentation at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016. The game will be featured in the EA (Electronic Arts) Play event, which will now serve as the game publisher's main E3 presentation, on June 12.

Fans hope that gameplay footage will be shared there as well as details on the new protagonist replacing Commander Shepard of the "Mass Effect" trilogy as well as the new worlds that will be explored.

Bioware is confident about "Mass Effect Andromeda." EA chief executive officer Andrew Wilson was recently quoted as saying that the upcoming shooter is quickly becoming an "emerging fan-favorite."

"As a category, role-playing games or RPGs continues to grow and break beyond what was the core gamer audience. We've seen other games in the category do this, and we believe that Mass Effect will do that," Wilson said.

"Mass Effect Andromeda" will be released early 2017. Bioware is also working on a new Intellectual Property (IP), which the developers have been teasing relentlessly on social media.
