According to the new information, Mass Effect Andromeda will include two companion like in the original trilogy, although this time everyone will have the use of jetpacks.
Destructible cover is reportedly a feature in the game, along with the main character being referred to as "the pathfinder".
The new ship featured in Mass Effect 4 will be much larger than the Normandy and will be a flyable unit for space travel.
There are also references made to Cerberus, although it is unclear if this is to be treated as a placeholder for something else, according to the source.
BioWare have yet to reveal any big details about the game, with most information coming from the short statement after the game's first official teaser at E3.
An earlier leak confirmed much of the current information known, that it would take place in Andromeda and would include humanity looking for a new home.
