Ramping up the already challenging difficulty, the expansion will deploy today across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, adding in Master units to all three villainous factions. The creepy-crawler Bugs will receive a towering Hive Lord, while the Cyborg and Illuminate races will welcome the Siege Mech and Great Eye, respectively.

Don’t fret over this new challenge, though, for Arrowhead has ensured that a new wave of trophies will also launch in tandem with the content pack. You may get blown to smithereens on a barren alien planet, but at least you’ll have the award to prove your, er, bravery.

  • New Bug “Hive Lord” Enemy Master
  • New Cyborg “Siege Mech” Enemy Master
  • New Illuminate “Great Eye” Enemy Master

Due on August 18, the Super-Earth Ultimate Edition will bundle together both Masters of the Galaxy, the previous Turning Up the Heat expansion, along with a whole host of extras and a dynamic theme for PlayStation 4.
