How Mass Effect: Andromeda’s new skills and multi-class profile system works (we think)

Mass Effect: Andromeda abilities skills profiles levelling

Yesterday’s Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer left some wanting more, but outside a bit more flashy combat it had a lot to reveal. This was our first proper look at the systems that govern levelling up, unlocking skills and what seems to be a brand new, adaptable class system.

The Mass Effect: Andromeda release date was also announced for March 21.
