Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Star Kings: Dritte Erweiterung im Anflug

Für Age of Wonders: Planetfall ist die dritte Erweiterung Star Kings angekündigt worden (10. November 2020; 19,99 Euro). Zusammen mit Star Kings wird es ein kostenloses Update für alle Planetfall-Spieler geben, das viele neue Inhalte hinzufügt, einschließlich der Möglichkeit, „ein eigenes individuelles galaktisches Imperium zu errichten“.

Die Erweiterung umfasst die neue spielbare Fraktion „Oathbound“ (Die Eidgebundenen), eine weitere Story-Kampagne, Grale als neue Elemente auf der Karte (nach mehrstufigen Quests) und weitere „Wildtiere“.

Erweiterung

• „New playable faction – The Oathbound: The Oathbound are a group of noble Paladins who pilot giant mechs and tear their foes apart with massive arc weapons imbued with lightning. The mythical Seers are the benevolent yet cunning leaders of the Oathbound that support their Paladin brethren in battle through their ability to see into the future from their connection with a mysterious computer system.
• New story campaign: Lead a courageous Paladin of the Oathbound on a mission to save all of mankind through the use of the mythical Grail Configuration. The journey leads players across the galaxy to the fabled planet of Union Prime where the Star Union was born and secrets long forgotten come to light.
• Grail Configurations: Powerful new landmark structures earned through multi-stage quests. These mysterious structures were created by an extinct race of crystal entities and are used for powerful long term bonuses that are integral in forging the biggest  empires possible.
• Wildlife additions: Three new wildlife groups are joining the fray. The Psionica, vampire-like rock creatures that feed on psychic energy; the Apostates, former Oathbound that have given up their vows to embrace chaos; and the Mycelians, sentient mushrooms that have taken control of farming equipment to become cyborgs.“
