Ludeon Studios has unveiled “RimWorld Odyssey“, the upcoming DLC for their hit PC colony simulator, after a sneak peek of its cover art. As it turns out, our speculations about the expansion’s content, based on that artwork, weren’t entirely off the mark: This new chapter focuses primarily on exploration.
In Odyssey, players are given the freedom to create their own spaceships for interplanetary voyages. Initially, these spacecraft are compact, consisting primarily of an engine and a cockpit, but they can be expanded to serve as your airborne headquarters. As resources for shipbuilding are scarce within your colony, expect to embark on thrilling expeditions to explore insect-filled caves, abandoned wreckages, and other challenging locations.
In new environments such as the luminescent forest teeming with mushrooms, battle-scarred wastelands, fertile plains brimming with vegetation, frigid glacial landscapes, and fiery lava territories offer a diverse range of possibilities and obstacles. Integrating the new landmark system, Odyssey promises an extraordinary level of map diversity. Landmarks are unique features that can transform a biome with characteristics such as valleys, islands, deserted settlements, and ancient ruins – allowing you to live like a post-apocalyptic survivor or create a utopia on a tropical island chain if you so desire, Odyssey will make it possible.
Over 40 fresh creatures enrich the diversity found globally. Notably, pets acquire extra abilities that go beyond their cute appeal, allowing them to assist in activities like hunting, mining, boosting colonists’ spirits, or weakening enemies during battles. Plus, you can tame previously wild animals using the new consciousness stimulant. As for entertainment, fishing is included as part of this theme emphasizing choice and versatility.
Beyond Earth’s boundaries now lies open: With your vessel as guide, venture into Earth’s orbital realm, encounter space stations or exploit asteroids – yet heed this warning: Space harbors perils far greater than those found on our planet’s surface.
A fresh collection of exciting new missions awaits players as they delve into uncharted territories, with enhanced weaponry, equipment, trap systems, and a variety of adversaries adding depth and versatility to gameplay.
In simpler terms, Version 1.6 update for RimWorld is due to launch together with Odyssey this year, offering significant performance enhancements. To put it in perspective, pathfinding will now be processed using multiple threads and batches, which promises a noticeable boost in speed during later stages of the game when managing large colonies.
As a devoted player, I’m thrilled to share that an upcoming update is in store for us! This exciting overhaul includes the addition of temporary caravan camps to enhance our journeying adventures. Plus, it’s now possible for birds to soar freely across the skies, adding a new layer of realism to the game. Furthermore, several gameplay aspects are being fine-tuned, aiming to bring balance and fairness. Lastly, numerous quality-of-life improvements are being implemented, particularly in areas like building design and user interface, making our gaming experience even smoother!
