Mass Effect Andromeda
So no mention of Mass Effect Andromeda at E3! Any thoughts? I reckon dlc plans will still be announced at some point, reckon there still just spending most there time with patches n stuff.........

Considering that Anthem will be part MMO it could go different ways. If you look at Destiny that is getting a Destiny 2 now, there are a few points of interest. The story content apparently was poor or lacking in Destiny 1 and it wasn't released on PC. They announced DLC and a sequel very quickly after the initial release also and this was supposed to be happening regularly over the coming years. Knowing BioWare chances are they would want to make Anthem work for longer than 2-3 years. My suspicion is that this is what's coming out of what they learned from ME and SWTOR.
With Destiny 2 coming out later this year I will be interested to say how Anthem holds up against it. Destiny sold something like 25 million copies or something and that's without a PC release. That's pretty amazing in my book. Mass Effect 3 did about 6 million to make a comparison.
So I'm thinking Anthem will have to do pretty well in the wake of games like Destiny 2 being out for them to start on a sequel right away. It'd be interesting to see what Destiny 2 brings to the table and they'll have some big DLC waiting probably to coincide with the Anthem release. Just my guess of course.
I just don't know if BioWare is actually going to try to follow Destiny or if they are going to want to do things their own way still. Of course, they could actually finally do something innovative and take the lead, but so far I've not seen any evidence of that beyond taking existing ideas a little bit further.
