It takes place 400 years after Mass Effect 3 and your character and his/her family got to Andromeda on an Ark ship (one of four, if the artwork is to be believed). The protagonist is named Ryder and the story is about becoming a hero instead of being about a hero becoming a legend.

This is all the information I have that you may or may not know, which isn't from the leaked surveys cause spoilers ahoy.

Personally, I'm disappointed that I'm forced to be human again. I want to make and play as a Turian.
