Per Aspera News

A new Per Aspera DLC is coming soon! 🌱

We’re happy to announce that we will have a new FREE content update very soon. This update's new mechanics will bring significant changes to the gameplay, making it more fun but also incompatible with your current saved games. So a new game will be needed to enjoy this new content.

If you are not ready to move forward once the update goes live, it’s okay. You’ll be able to continue your progress from the newly minted v.1.4.x branch, and then switch back to the default branch when you desire.

This update (v.1.4.5) sets up some groundwork for the upcoming DLC as well as some fixes and performance improvements we have been working on for a while now. As usual, we push the update to the Advanced Branch and after a few days of testing, we will be promoting it to the default branch.

The NEW Green Mars DLC will be here soon! We’ll keep you posted on its progress and release dates through the usual channels, and with in-game posts. Stay tuned!

Ad Astra!
