Stellar Mercenaries has just rolled out its most expansive update yet with The Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content with new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and gear. This thrilling update introduces the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, two factions locked in a fierce battle for dominance around Jupiter and its moons.
Dive into over 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, where you'll take on varied objectives such as escort operations, piracy, train defense, and hyperspace hunts. With six new ships added to the game—the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightening, and Skybreaker—players can further customize their fleets to suit diverse playstyles and tactical situations.
Enhance your combat strategy with six new weapons, including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. Defensive capabilities are upgraded with Tier 4 shields and armours, while new special abilities and mods like Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate offer fresh strategic options.
Enemy encounters have become even more challenging with the introduction of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries. These formidable foes evolve alongside your progress, ensuring intense battles. The update also adds dynamic environmental hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the ominous Pacifier, a new threat lurking in deep space.
Beyond the main campaign, the new side mission system keeps the gameplay unpredictable and engaging. The update is further enriched with 14 new music tracks, enhancing the immersive sci-fi atmosphere. Additionally, managing your arsenal has become more efficient with the expanded Hangar Manager, offering more inventory and loadout slots.
