Publisher Stardock Corporation and developer Ironclad Games announced a release date for Sins of a Solar Empire 2 DLC “Paths to Power”, the first post-launch content for the ambitious strategy game.
Sins of a Solar Empire 2 downloadable content “Paths to Power” is set to launch next month, on March 27th for PC on both Steam and the Epic Games Store as a standalone $12.99 pack, part of the $99.99 Premium Edition Bundle, or part of the $59.99 Content Pass.
Here’s a rundown on the new content:
This DLC pack features exciting challenges for players by introducing new, objective-based missions and victory conditions in 10+ new scenario maps. Each scenario features unique gameplay situations or goals, ranging from defending against relentless invaders as the Pranast United minor faction, to assimilating the human population of the galaxy as the Advent.
“The ‘Paths to Power’ DLC lays the foundation for new, more dynamic styles of gameplay in the Sins’ universe,” said Brian Clair, Executive Producer at Stardock. “Not only will players get new experiences from this DLC, but modders will gain access to a whole new set of options to bring their creations to life.”
Examples of Paths to Power Scenarios:
All as One
Planets are starting to disintegrate causing mass panic across Trader space. Has the Vasari’s nemesis finally arrived? Playing as the Vasari Alliance, you must forge unlikely partnerships with the other races and accumulate enough resources to escape. It’s a race against the clock as the map is slowly devoured by this unknown adversary!
Defend the Homeworld
Take the reins of the Pranast United and see how long you can hold out against enemy forces in this classic ‘King of the Hill’ scenario. Waves of enemy ships will assault your homeworld, attempting to wipe you out. Victory is impossible, but how long will you survive? Compare your stats against other players and earn fame.
Scorched Space
On the edges of Trader space, scouts have discovered a curious star system that’s largely been destroyed. Strange inactive starbases of unknown design have been found that contain highly advanced technology. Will you try to restore them to gain a powerful new weapon? Or will you destroy them to keep them from your enemies?
Alongside the ‘Paths to Power’ DLC, Stardock will be releasing the v1.4 free update for Sins of a Solar Empire II for all players! This update will introduce a major gameplay mechanic with population. Population will directly interface with Culture to determine the strength of your empire’s influence, bringing a major change to how players can achieve victory through gradual conversion of citizens in other Empires. Update v1.4 will also feature several new units, gameplay balance updates, and more which will be detailed in a future dev diary.
The base game Sins of a Solar Empire 2 has been available for Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store).
