The Robots of Lux DLC features 2 new expedition leaders: Piper Faraday from SteamWorld Heist and the Naturalist, who can tame almost any animal in the game, including the Giant Crab! Both leaders come with new recruitable companions.

The DLC also includes a new Paris location: the Old Theatre, where you can freeze a character for later use and shop for robotic team members and equipment.

To celebrate the launch of the DLC we introduced some new Steam bundles. Please note that the "Curious Expedition 2 x SteamWorld Heist Bundle" will only be available for a limited time!

A small pile of talking bones vs a Giant Desert Sandworm.... who should win?

[h2]Changes[/h2]

• Undead Pirate's "Fear of the Dead" now effects enemies differently:
  
  • Non-humanoids are not so scared of a pile of bones, so they get only 5 vulnerability
    
  • Humanoids are still pretty scared, but slightly less scared: maximum vulnerability reduced to 40
    
• When you are forced to flee in combat when at zero sanity due to Fighting Spirit, the infobox is displayed when highlighting the button
