There are three difficulty levels in APEX Missions, which are Bronze, Silver, and Gold. It has been confirmed that there will be a fourth level of difficulty.
The official Twitter account of "Mass Effect" shared, "Take your skills to the next level. Platinum Difficulty is coming to APEX Multiplayer," along with a short preview showing fans what they can expect from the new addition.
The preview also showed that there is another update in the game. IGN notes that the preview revealed the Batarians as the new playable race in "Mass Effect: Andromeda."
However, this may come as a surprise since the Batarians were not featured in the game's single player campaign. PC Gamer also notes that the Batarians were not even part of the main show in the original trilogy of "Mass Effect."
The inclusion of the Batarians in the preview was somehow similar to how the Quarians first appeared in the game, which could mean that the new playable alien race will arrive the same way they did.
There are speculations that there will be a new DLC pack for "Mass Effect: Andromeda," however, there have been no confirmations of this news yet.
The Platinum Difficulty in "Mass Effect: Andromeda" APEX Missions will be available on Thursday, July 6.
