Everspace Gets Major Expansion on Xbox One
Looks like anyone who is a fan of Everspace can get even more life out of the game as new DLC content is now live and it has a lot to offer those that are interested.
So, you want to know what is in the new DLC? Well, the new content, called Everspace – Encounters, provides access to a new fighter class ship called the Colonial Sentinel, packed with a lethal loadout of new weaponry offering a fresh and distinctive play-style. Space pilots will also have a wealth of devices and consumables at their disposal, including a special shield, featuring twice as much capacity as the standard model.
The Colonial Sentinel is a formidable new ship capable of deep space interdiction and exploration providing pilots with the confidence to even take the fight to multiple adversaries simultaneously: It is armed to the teeth with an array of sophisticated electronic warfare weaponry, like an EMP Generator to disable any electronic systems within a certain area, a powerful Lightning Gun dealing damage to several targets at close range as well as a Seeker Missile Battery for launching a fiery barrage at multiple foes all at once. Add to that a Plasma Thrower which propels white-hot death as a spurt of plasma onto enemy craft and the Neutron Cannon which devastates enemies with increasing area damage and bigger projectiles the longer it is charged.
Fans will also find the introduction of all-new factory space stations in the Encounters expansion that offer up the ability for pilots to refine and convert resources, upgrade ship capabilities or carry out minor repair jobs from damage sustained in combat.
But wait, there is more. Players can now encounter new types of enemies and new story characters, who will offer individual questlines thanks to the roguelike game loop. All pilots will run into them sooner or later, without having to finish the main story first. Those who have already beat the game, now have a whole new incentive to get back into the game as they explore new possibilities and unveil further secrets in the galaxy. Daring space pilots can even venture to the Okkar Homeworld to face yet another challenge and collect special rewards.
