The Riftbreaker: Metal Terror allows you to explore an entirely new area of Galatea 37 - the Metallic Valley. This previously unexplored biome holds many secrets. You will encounter creature species, unlike anything you’ve seen before. You will gather information about the strange ways that the local flora has adapted to the conditions of this biome. You will conduct research on anomalous objects that might open the door to unlocking powerful technological advancements. However, some of the things that you find there might send a shiver down your spine.
The World Expansion Update has two components; a huge free content update and a story driven paid DLC - The Riftbreaker: Metal Terror. Here is a short summary of what both of them include:
The World Expansion free content update:
- An entirely new Biome to explore - the Metallic Valley.
- A new Survival Mode scenario, taking place in the new biome.
- Several new species of creatures, ranging from harmless herbivores to bloodthirsty predators, looking for territorial domination.
- New technologies: harness the power of Morphium, a mysterious resource that seems to break the laws of physics.
- New weapons: defend your base with new varieties of defensive towers. Take the fight to the aliens with Lightning Guns, Heavy Plasma Cannons, and even a Chainsaw.
- Introducing the winners of our Community Design Contests: the Orbital Strike Cannon and Bioscanner Turret!
- Rebalanced Survival Mode experience - unlock more technologies, explore different builds, and gain access to Alien Technology without even building a Lab!
- A lot of quality of life improvements: mass repair and upgrade tools, more intelligent floor building utility.
- …and many more! The full update details will be revealed in the Patch Notes, arriving on May 30th!
The Riftbreaker: Metal Terror paid DLC:
- Discover the strange history of the Metallic Valley in an entirely new branch of the Story Campaign, spanning over several hours of gameplay.
- Establish an Outpost in a brand-new area of the planet - if you dare.
- Scan, analyze, and catalog the unique fauna and flora of the new biome.
- Face several new enemy species, each posing a different kind of challenge.
- Research new additions to the technology tree, utilizing the curiosities you discover in the new biome: buildings, weapons, and equipment.
- Solve the mystery that remained hidden for millennia.
- The Story portion of this Expansion is integrated with the Main Campaign from the base edition of The Riftbreaker. The new branch and the contents of the expansion will unlock as you progress through the game. If you have previously completed The Riftbreaker Story Campaign, you can continue your adventure where you left off. The additional part of the Story will unlock immediately, giving you the option to explore the new part of the world.
We want to give everyone something new with this update. All players will gain access to the new content in Survival Mode and the Sandbox Mode. Everyone will also be able to utilize the new assets in the Riftbreaker Editor Suite to create custom maps and campaigns. Purchasing the Expansion will in turn allow you to play through the new portion of the Story Campaign and make use of the new technologies in the Campaign Mode.
The Riftbreaker: Metal Terror will release on Monday, May 30th, 2022 at $9.99. More news, including sneak peeks at some of the new features, coming in the next weeks!
