We are happy to share that Dawn of Andromeda has just been updated and that Dawn of Andromeda Subterfuge is now available.
In Subterfuge, two more races have appeared in Andromeda and are ready to scrap for dominance. The Kri are back in the ascendency and ready to fight for what was once rightfully theirs. However, the espionage-loving Higharth led by their Queen Mother, have arrived from Alpha Centauri and threaten to shake up the balance of the galaxy.
The Subterfuge DLC is all about espionage. Hire spies and use them to spy on your enemies, plot high risk assassinations, and steal technology! These are just some of the actions that this new gameplay mechanic will allow you to perform in order to defeat your enemies.
In addition, there are two new playable races: Kri and Higharth. Both new races bring new exclusive technologies and traits, changing the way you play.
Planetary projects also make their entry. Research and discover new ways to improve your colonies individually, from terraforming to building unique wonders.
Fuel Range is now a limiting factor. You can’t travel from one side of the galaxy to the other anymore without the proper technologies and/or sufficient fuel. Expanding and exploration now requires more strategic thought than ever.
And of course there is lots of new content. New technologies, ship parts, events and quests!
Aside from the DLC we are also delivering a huge patch for Dawn of Andromeda, this updates brings more changes and fixes and adresses issues raised by the community. The full changelog can be found below.
We would like to thank the whole community for their support and feedback and hope they will keep it coming.
