Described as a "first-of-it's-kind guest experience," the attraction will bring "settings and characters" from the series to life.

Visitors will "climb aboard motion-based seating and wear 3D glasses, live performers will curate the journey and interact seamlessly with the "next generation 3D visual." In addition to the motion seating, the ride will have "high-tech sound and other 4D effects."

Mass Effect: Andromeda, the next entry in BioWare's sci-fi RPG series, was revealed at E3 2015. It has been pitched as "very much a new adventure, taking place far away from and long after the events of the original trilogy."

BioWare previously offered a few vague details on the game: "You will play a human, male or female. You'll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako.

"And through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with."

Mass Effect: Andromeda, is slated for a fall 2016 release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
