Update 0.5.8 - New region map added: Black Caves!

Hot on the heels of the Tank Commander Governor, we’ve got another big content update landing for Rebel Inc: Escalation, and this time you will have a whole new region to stabilise: Black Caves.

This new region is infamous for its imposing mountain range, riddled with underground cave networks. Insurgents will use these to hide and regroup, leaving towns and farms along the river under constant threat.

We’ve also released the Rebel Inc: Escalation soundtrack, which you can pick up here:

Of course we’ve also pushed out a number of tweaks, based off some of the excellent feedback we’ve been getting from players (the full extent of which you can see in the full changelog below). Keep the feedback coming!

We’re already working on the next Governor and Region (the Development Director and Azure Dam). We’re hoping these will be ready in the next couple of weeks. And of course there’s still a long way to go in Rebel Inc: Es calation’s Early Access journey, with Mega Brutal mode, Multiplayer modes and a Scenario Creator all still in the pipeline.

Let us know what you think of Black Caves, and which upcoming features you’re most keen to see in the game!
