'Mass Effect: Andromeda' News & Updates: BioWare Confirmed 10-hour EA/Origin Access Trial For Unlimited Multiplayer Only

BioWare confirmed a 10-hour EA/Origin Access trial for “Mass Effect: Andromeda.” It will allow gamers to play as much multiplayer as they want while the single-player is limited.

"You can play it all in single-player if you want, but it is gated (you can't continue the story after a point, but can explore or restart, for example," Fernando Melo, game creator wrote on Twitter.

In fact, this is a regular event for “Mass Effect: Andromeda’s” EA/Origin Access trials. Like, for example, the Battlefield one's trial stocked limitless access to the multiplayer for a definite span of time. However, a single-player only takes few missions, Game Spot reported.

The EA/Origin Access trial for "Mass Effect: Andromeda" could be attained on March 16 for Xbox One and PC. Unfortunately, there's no variant of EA Access is available on PlayStation 4.The complete game will be released on March 21.

According to Eurogamer, Melo also revealed the latest image of "Mass Effect: Andromeda's" multiplayer. The picture shows the new feature, Missions, which connect single-player and multiplayer.

The "Pathfinder Rewards," which include loot boxes will be unlocked when the multiplayer missions are completed. A single screenshot displayed two varieties: the Gold Item Loot Box and the Research Data Loot Box.

BioWare didn't yet release an official statement what these things will comprise. But Melo then explained that these were containers of "random rewards" and no microtransactions in single-player.

Fortunately, Ian S. Frazier, lead designer commented that players can send AI Strike Teams to finish those missions. "Mass Effect: Andromeda's" gamers can take the prizes without playing multiplayer.

On the other hand, the multiplayer of "Mass Effect: Andromeda" beta was canceled. But players, who attend PAX East this week, could still throw a try on it.

It was also recently reported that "Mass Effect: Andromeda's" multiplayer will promote packs. These will involve components that can be released through gameplay or by paying with actual money.
