Stardock and Mohawk Games announced a new DLC, called Interdimensional, for their critically acclaimed real-time strategy game, Offworld Trading Company, today.





Offworld Trading Company is an economic strategy game by Soren Johnson, lead designer for Civilization IV. Players are trying to build a corporation on Mars, but the competition is fierce - others are standing in the way of success, and victory is hard-earned through mastering and manipulating the Martian stock market.

The Interdimensional DLC explores an alternate reality by combining all of the challenges players have faced on Jupiter’s moons Io and Europa, as well as on Mars’ moon, Ceres. Players will vy for economic dominance on maps with mixed terrain where all the rules of different worlds are in play at once.





A variety of terrain types and custom maps adds new challenges for any aspiring offworld traders. The frozen tundra of Europa could exist right beside the hot volcanic surface of Io on these worlds, making careful decisions a necessity of survival. Players will need to think ahead about building placement, since structures that were previously only available on one world can now all appear on the same map together.

Players will have the opportunity to both explore pre-made custom maps as well as create and share their own maps via the Steam Workshop. Offworld Trading Company’s other DLC and expansions are not required to play Interdimensional.



“We wanted to give players a challenge,” said lead designer Soren Johnson. “I think that Interdimensional provides a unique experience for both seasoned veterans and newcomers. We’re excited to see what kinds of maps people create, too.”
