The first week of 2017 is in the books; here's a recap of some of the week's big stories and others you may have missed.

The Big Stuff:

Mass Effect: Andromeda finally has a release date. BioWare announced this week that the long-awaited and highly anticipated RPG will come out on March 21 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. BioWare also released a series of new screenshots and a trailer--see all of GameSpot's Andromeda coverage here.

2017 is a big year for Nintendo, as the company will release its next console, the Switch, in March. A report this week claimed one of the system's marquee games, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, will arrive in March alongside the system. A Zelda title at launch sure makes the Switch compelling.

There is going to be a movie about Slenderman and now it has a director: Sylvain White. He previously made Stomp the Yard. Get the full story here at IGN.
