The Mass Effect Andromeda Trial offered to EA Access and Origin Access members will provide 10 hours of game time, though progress through the story will be restricted, BioWare producer Fernando Melo has revealed.

“You can play it all in sp if you want, but it is gated (you can’t cont story after a point, but can explore or restart for ex),” explained Melo.

Progress made, and experience earned can be carried over to the full game.

Multiplayer is, however, unrestricted, though it counts towards the 10 hour time limit.

The trial will be available from March 16, with the game launching in the UK on March 23. PS4 gamers needn’t worry about the trial restrictions because EA Access is not available on the platform.
