Fans have been patiently waiting for N7 Day to arrive alongside plenty of new information about the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda, but that hasn't stopped some key information about the game leaking out ahead of time.
Two different box arts, along with plot and game feature details, have hit the web hours ahead of Bioware's official announcements thanks to electronics giant Best Buy listing the games on their site. One image is presumably the standard edition box art for the game, which depicts Mass Effect's new Pathfinder player character up close. The Andromeda galaxy reflects off their helmet, while they hold a pistol close to their body.
Thanks to Best Buy, we also know there's a deluxe edition of the game coming. So far there are no details on what exactly differentiates the deluxe edition from the standard one aside from a different box and a slightly higher price of $69.99, but official details should be coming soon. The deluxe edition shows the Pathfinder character staring out over an alien wasteland as a ship crashes in the distance. You can see both pieces of box art below.
Best Buy lists the following features for Mass Effect: Andromeda, including the addition of four player co-op that is presumably similar to the mode featured in Mass Effect 3. Here's the full list of details via Best Buy:
