Soldiers!

The new global update "MARS" is coming bringing along a Special Operation under the same codename. This time Warface squads will face enemy troops on the Red Planet. Many of you have appreciated the unpredictable plot twists, unique gameplay and breath-taking settings of "Sunrise". Want more? The new Special Operation will not disappoint you!

Mars colonists discover the bacterium "Sedrium" whose waste products were recently found on Earth and are used by Blackwood in experiments aimed to create new super-soldiers. They also employ them to transmit nerve impulses at a distance which could boost the development of the SED. However, the "Sedrium" reserves have almost run dry. To keep up the production the corporation needs living samples of the bacteria which the colonists happen to so timely discover on the Red Planet.



Oberon White sends landing SED capsules to Mars to capture the colonists’ base. Warface squad is to derail his plans and fight Blackwood forces outside Earth using enemy cyborgs.


The "Mars" SpecOp is the first of its kind: its unparalleled gameplay will grant you fresh impressions and exclusive experience.

• Remote SED control. The unique technology of Blackwood will allow players to find themselves on Mars by connecting to the enemy’s cyborgs and controlling them from a distance.
  
• Energy weapon ARCUS. This modular weapon was specifically developed for the Martian mission. It offers several modes of fire which can be used no matter what class you opt for: automatic assault, tactical semi-automatic and special designed to face particularly dangerous enemies. You do not have to reload it provided it does not overheat.
  
• Modified gravity. Gravity on Mars is much weaker than on Earth. So movement will feel different: it will be slower while jumps - higher and longer.
  
• Solo stages. To successfully defeat the boss, players will require special modules for ARCUS weapons, which obtainable only by completing individual missions in special zones.
  
• Space defibrillator. It can be employed by all the classes but cannot deal damage to the enemy. It has only one charge restored at control points.

You will encounter extremely dangerous opponents never met before.

• Spider mines. Homing explosive devices that, upon detecting an enemy, move in their direction and go off after reaching the target. Only energy weapons are able to destroy them.
  
• Martian SED-2. Blackwood’s main offensive force. They are equipped with energy guns and play different roles on the battlefield: snipers and riflemen. The elite SED-2 painted in black are the most dangerous ones since they are designed for frontal attacks and have a large safety margin.
  
• Antaeus-6. Heavy mining droid firing a machine gun. Blackwood overtook control over it and now uses the droid as a fighting machine. When trapped in a vulnerable position, Antey-6 launches homing missiles and uses protective EMP field.
  
• And a unique boss larger than anuthing you have fought against so far. Maximum cooperation will be required to destroy it.

Upon completing the Special Operation "Mars" you can get your hands on a unique weapon of the "Ares" series delivered straight from the Martian laboratories! The set includes one gun for each class. Mind that "Ares" is not a camo but a tactical kit that changes the weapon's geometry and improves its performance.


"Ares" 9 mm

"Ares" Saiga-12C

Ares M60E4

Ares MK14 EBR

Don’t forget that landing kills with the "Ares" weapons will grant you custom stripes!




We will tell you about the "Ares" series in future articles.


Upon completing the Special Operation "Mars" the most outstanding soldiers will be rewarded with 20 thematic achievements. To collect all badges, marks and stripes you will have to win the enemies and demonstrate good teamwork.








The recent stream has announced the "Armageddon" Battle Pass. You can learn more about it in the dedicated articles on the game’s website.

Implementation of Blackwood’s plans will entail deaths of the colonists and other terrifying consequences. Stop the enemy at any cost!

We’re very happy to announce the Expansion Pass roadmap for Metro Exodus. After its release in February this year, and the release of the vast Ranger Update a month afterwards, we know fans have been excitedly waiting to hear more on what’s coming for the DLC, and we’re happy to finally share that with you.

There will be two major pieces of story-driven DLC for the game, following brand new stories from the world of Metro. Instead of Artyom, players will have the chance to see through the eyes of a brand new character and of one of the Spartan Rangers, the Aurora’s only American, Sam. Both of these will be available as part of the expansion pass, but will also be available for purchase separately.

A quick word of warning: if you have not yet completed the Metro Exodus campaign, the following contains spoilers.

Coming in Summer 2019, the first story that players will follow, The Two Colonels, is that of Colonel Khlebnikov, just below the surface, under the dead city of Novosibirsk, as he makes his way home to his son, Kirill, for New Year’s Eve.

But all is not well with the people here: the slime is further consuming the tunnels, mutant attacks appear to be on the rise and the precious ‘green stuff’ that protects the people from radiation poisoning is running low. In order to secure the survival of any of the people, those in charge may need to take drastic measures…

Following the journey and experiences of Khlebnikov during the last days of life in Novosibirsk, which Colonel Miller retraces a year later, players can expect the classic story-driven gameplay of the Metro series in this new linear chapter, complete with a brand new weapon, the deadly flame-thrower, claustrophobic environments, and the all-too-familiar hair-raising tension.

The second piece of DLC, Sam’s Story, coming to players in early 2020, is the brand new sandbox survival level based on Vladivostok. Sam, a US marine at the Moscow embassy before the bombs were dropped, has long dreamed of returning to his homeland, and maybe finding his family alive. The prospect seemed impossible in the darkened tunnels of the Metro, but when the Spartans discovered that Moscow was not the only city left alive after the war, holding out hope didn’t feel so foolish anymore.

Sam makes his way away from the Aurora in search of a way back to the USA, arriving at the remains of Vladivostok’s tsunami ravaged harbours, ruined industrial buildings, and crumbling residential districts. To complete his journey, Sam will discover that he needs every tactic he has learned so far to survive, as his surroundings prove to be far trickier than expected.

Players will forge Sam's path through the sandbox survival landscape of Vladivostok, as they take a brand new journey across the wasteland of post-apocalyptic Russia.

Never miss a thing. Follow us via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Discord and YouTube for more announcements, news and content.

The Metro Exodus Expansion Pass is now available to purchase for all owners of the Standard Edition of the game.

Koral has a really special development. It was done in a sailship in a paradise in northen catalonia called Cap de Creus. What better way to make a game about the sea than going to the sea and make it there!

We recorded the entire process and made a convenient 19 min Making Of for you all to enjoy. You can watch in in youtube. English and Spanish captions avivable.


Kind regards,

Carlos.

It's time for celebration, but bear in mind that our hard work does not stop here!
Currently, we have a lot of new ideas in the back of our heads, and a couple of projects we work on daily. (🎮!) 😉

Stay tuned and Happy Garden Flipping!!

These buildings are very punny indeed! The buildings always seem to have a pun or two to hand; their charming dialogue helps bring the city to life!



Who knew that a restaurant could have such a keen sense of humour? Buildings Have Feelings yes, but they also have plenty of jokes too...

Hello everyone!

Our team really wants to thank you all for wishlisting us!

The development process is still on, there is a way to go, but we have released our first reveal trailer.

Check it out and stay tuned for more!

Greetings, adventurers!

We are happy to announce that Pendula Swing Episode 4 - "No Silver Spoons" is now available on Steam! Grab it here!

• A new part of Duberdon for you to explore! This is the Entertainment District, the glamorous side of town that hosts the Silvergate Department Store and the Cinema Metropol!
  
• Watch a movie starring yourself on the silver screen
  
• Learn the password for the Speakeasy, which is located in the Harbour District! Once you are able to enter, you can drink, dance and be merry - the hottest swing band is singing right now!
  
• Since you can go for a dance night out, you can get a stylish new haircut at the Silvergate Beauty Parlor, dare to wear the latest 1920s fashion and perhaps accesorize your brand new dress with a fancy new bag to replace your old backpack - all wares & so much more is available at the Silvergate Department Store!
  
• Meet a lot of interesting new characters, such as Hespian the Wizard, the legendary (but terribly annoying) Jack The Flyboy or Oa-Crielvan Eleanor, whose character, story and quest is actually inspired by and developed for one of our fans (You know who you are! Thank you!)
  
• If you're tired of speaking to so many people, you can invest your time in performing a silly and slightly embarrassing task for Jack The Flyboy (new kind of quest gameplay)
  
• Allow love back in your life! Some of the people who fancy you might surprise you with very, very romantic gestures!
  ....!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! ...such as taking you to the movies or cleaning your entire house and decorating it with fresh flowers ❤
  
• If unsure if you are ready or not to let your heart belong to someone else but your dear Taheena, you can summon her spirit and ask her!
  
• Do you like balloons? We like balloons! So now there are balloons and you can actually gift them to some people to make them happy! Also - fireworks!
  
• A lot more fashion choices and styles that you can admire around you! This is because everyone who frequents the Entertainment District and the Speakeasy likes to pay extra attention on how they present themselves! A tip - some are also quite judgemental, so you might want to spend some serious roupols at the Department Store
  
• Not exactly a new thing but just a warning: there is just So Much sweet and sugary stuff in the Silvergate Department Store! Try to temper yourself, no matter how tasty all the cakes look like!

Besides a whole bunch of bug fixes, overall improvements and optimisations, as well as quest updates and a lot of typo and grammar corrections, which we won't even mention because that's just part of being an indiedev, some notable stuff we worked on is:

• All Pendula Swing inhabitants now Blink! We think this adds a lot more life and realism to our characters
  
• Getting drunk had... issues, and by issues we mean some technical issues which we fixed. Getting drunk now should feel more progressive and natural (hehe Cheers!) since we optimised the effects and applied them more progressively.
  
• The options we made available in Settings should now work without flaw (we hope!) such as changing the font size
  
• We spent quite some time to optimise performance and loading times in some of our heaviest scenes, such as the Business District - this is an ongoing chore and we pay extra attention to performance and loading times in general, so we hope it's better now, and it will be even better in the future!

• One of the side quests in Old Town is BUGGED! This is the quest that triggers the Clan Dinner achievement, where Brialynne needs to help the Garkenlak goblins to gather the entire clan for a meal. Completing this quest to get the achievement will result in a dialogue freeze and breaking the game.
  
• Some of the achievements might not be triggered correctly. If you notice any incorrect behaviour, we appreciate your help!
  
• If your backpack is full and you are completing quests that involve the exchange of items, you might lose those items.

We are aware of these bugs and are working diligently to provide a patch ASAP! Thank you kindly for your patience and understanding that you show towards our super tiny team!

It’s with great pleasure we’re announcing that SteamWorld Quest comes to Steam on May 31. You know what? That’s just a few weeks away! We’re preparing day one versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
