It's N7 Day, which means that we're just hours away from getting our next look at Mass Effect: Andromeda. The excitement hasn't quite kicked in yet here at Push Square, but some good old fashioned leakage can be an effective remedy for lacking hype.
Spotted by always eagle-eyed Twitter user Wario64, retailer Best Buy has leaked its product page for BioWare's upcoming sci-fi title. As you can see from the image that we've embedded, the game's box art is pretty swish, and there's going to be a deluxe edition. The bullet points featured on the aforementioned product page aren't all that informative - most of them boil down to your standard marketing guff - but the last one at least confirms that four-player co-op is returning.
We assume that the co-op will have a lot in common with Mass Effect 3's stellar multiplayer offering, where teams of up to four operatives would complete objectives while holding back hordes of alien enemies. Hopefully Andromeda's co-op experience will be every bit as good.
Again, you can expect more news on Mass Effect: Andromeda later today. Developer BioWare has already confirmed that a brand new trailer is heading our way, so be sure to stick around if you're a fan of intergalactic adventures. Until then, though, feel free to blast off into orbit in the comments section below.

Urgh. I hated multiplayer in 3, and given how rushed that game felt in parts, using resources on the superfluous co-op mode irks me further. Hopefully it's an optional add on here and not at all required.
I'm pretty sure Rocket League developer Psyonix made the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode.
I didn't really like it either, but @ShogunRok apparently loved it...
@get2sammyb from what I remember it was developed by another studio, yeah. Didn't know it was Psyonix though. All I know is that I like my Mass Effext single player, and having to play a pretty average horde mode to get the best ending was a shocking decision.
The multiplayer mode in ME3 was pretty fun. I mainly started playing it to knock out the last few trophies but really got in to it.
Not surprising, given the fact that even DA: Inquisition had a tacked on co-op mode (which I never actually touched). I did enjoy ME3s MP though so hopefully this is up to the standard of that, minus the annoying tie in to the main game. I always hated that numerous MP hours were needed to complete the story with as many war assets as possible.
i thought the co-op on ME3 was quite fun for a horde mode, but i wouldn't describe it as 'stellar'.
@get2sammyb @johncalmc You're all mad, it was the best co-op on PS3.
Um...I don't even remember a co-op mode in the third game..
Ugh.
At this point, I'd just be happy with a remaster of the first game.
Make Mass Effect Great Again.
Seriously what I miss is a good solid couch co-op.
Looks pretty bland to be honest
Me3 had one of my favorite co op modes of all time! I'm glad we're getting it again!
Got to say, I loved ME3 co-op. Just wish I'd got stuck in sooner. Can't wait for this.
I tried it, got bored after wave 8.
I haven't even tried the ME3 multiplayer mode, I think I missed out...dang! I usually skip the multiplayer part of single player rpgs...
Mp on 3 is the best that a mp can be. I won't mind play a few hours on Andromeda.
That said, again a disappointing N7 day, come one! The game will launch early 2017 and we got, on the N7 DAY, a trailer with few info and 1:44 running time! Really????
The multiplayer in me3 was great, the baddie design was awesome. When those banshees turned up everyone ran away and clean underpants were resigned to the loading screen. It shouldn't have been important to the sp component that's for sure, but as horde modes go me3 was the most fun I've had. It was relatively easy to understand and the difficulty levels were just right.
I played 3 Multiplayer on the Wii U and it was stupidly fun so yeah this is great news.
"Hopefully Andromeda's co-op experience will be every bit as good." WTF? it was awful, let's hope it's not as bad as ME3
