At the moment Bioware are slowly drip feeding the Internet information about the upcoming Mass Effect game, Mass Effect: Andromeda. We recently had a trailer come out, and that was huge. Now something's been revealed which isn't quite as huge, but welcome none the less - Andromeda will have native controller support for its PC version.
The news was revealed via a tweet sent out by Andromeda's lead designer, Ian S. Frazier yesterday:
In case it wasn't clear: yes, we now support controllers on PC.But personally? I'm looking forward to showing off m&kb controls! #space

Neither Mass Effect 2 or 3 had controller support for PC, so this is a step up from those games and welcome to people who prefer to use a controller for their gaming. Further, you will apparently also be able to switch between controller and mouse and keyboard control seamlessly. That means if you prefer using controller for one thing and mouse and keyboard for something else, Andromeda should be able to allow you to do that with little problem. Hopefully.
There's plenty more news to come about the game before it finally releases on March 21 in North America and on March 23 in Europe, so stay tuned.
