Content complete? WTF! Serious bro?
Aye. You read that right. It's taken 3.5 years of full time work but the next patch will make NeonXSZ content complete. That doesn't mean that the game is entirely finished, we still have a few months of tweaks and improvements ahead, but the May update adds the final hull models, the final station and the final four challenge arenas. Not only that, you can now complete the game and the new content is packed full of secrets that will allow the truly dedicated to reach level 80.
Will you be the first?
So what's in store?
Let's start out by showing off the latest ship hull designs.
Here's the C3 - Endurance
The Endurance is a corvette class ship and lives up to it's name with systems designed for durability during continuous fighting.
Next up is the FR3 - Ravager
The Ravager is the final frigate class ship. It sports a third weapon turret for increased damage combined with increased speed compared to it's counterparts.
Our final new hull is the D2 - Executioner
The new destroyer design replaces the previous D2 model which is now exclusively used on the D3 Reaper.
Station 7 Rework + 4 HUGE new arenas
To wrap up the games content we wanted to do something special. Nobody likes games that go out on a wimper so we did the opposite. A completely new arena system was developed for the final Station that is unlike anything before. The sphere itself was also completely redesigned for this station and the four new arenas housed inside are truly enormous. There's well over one hundred new combat events throughout the new arenas and they're packed full of puzzles and secrets to discover.
Each of the new arenas are bigger than all four arenas in any previous station!
So when can I get my mitts on it?
Soon. Very soon.
Everything is done and a release candidate is ready for final testing and balance tuning. That's going to take a good few days because did we mention how bloody enormous these new arenas are?
Be Prepared:
To set yourself up to play through the final content properly we suggest you prepare a level 60 saved game. Ideally, if you already have the last 7 hulls, sell them. These hulls are no longer available to buy and sell at shops and can only be aquired by completing various challenges and secrets inside the new arenas. For the full experience you should sell those hulls if you've already aquired them.
Thanks
A heart felt thanks to everyone who supported and believed in the game during alpha. We're nearly there now :)
