Hello Universe Architects,
The new Beyond episode is here! For years, this topic has been popularly requested and we’ve taken note. It’s now time for a place that’s near and dear to humanity, the Milky Way Galaxy, to take center stage…
Beyond E25: Journey to the Center
Twists and Turns
Buckle up and spiral into the mysteries of our own galaxy. From Density Waves to Fermi Bubbles, many components make up the Milky Way. But, what’s at the core of it all?
- Collect nine new Trait Cards exploring the different characteristics of our home star system.
- Unlock four new cosmic generators: Orion Spur, Perseus Arm, Omega Centauri and Galactic Bulge.
- Follow the swirls as the Milky Way appears on the Beyond tree.
One in Two Trillion
Watch your hard work take shape in space. Starting with the Orion Spur, each crucial element of the galaxy will appear one by one and eventually form the complete awe-inspiring Milky Way. To give you an idea of how massive it will be, we included a sneak peek (#NoSpoilers).
- Unlock 11 new celestial components that make up the Milky Way in the Beyond garden.
Celestial Celebration
The stars are feeling particularly generous with this update. Let’s take a look and see what galactic goodies are now available:
- Two Astronomy Missions are better than one! Increase production as you research the Galactic Plane and Galactic Bar.
- Shoot for the stars to form the Hercules and Vela constellations.
- Obtain up to 10 new achievements. Can you catch them all?
Additional Features:
- The appearance of the Milky Way has changed everything! The camera now pans and rotates as you zoom so that everything stays beautiful, and changes to the side panel and the garden zoom UI make navigating easier.
- Looking for a particular planet? Click on an Astronomy Mission with the sidebar open to find its respective Interstellar Object.
- Fixed an issue players would not get leaderboard rewards at the end of the event.
Beyond E25: Journey To The Center is available to play now on Steam and will be available to all Android and iOS players by Monday, 07/29/2024 at 11:59PM ET.
Our team is back from a refreshing summer break, and we’re looking ahead to new releases! You can hear more about our process in our upcoming Dev Diary. It’s been a while since the last one, so we’re excited to share our thoughts on all we’ve accomplished and what we’re focusing on next in the near future.
Some of you may be wondering what the next update is now, too. While we hope you enjoy exploring every nook and cranny of the Milky Way, we’re also looking forward to our upcoming release: Civilization! While we’ve already started development for the next age, it still has a few steps to go before it’s ready. If you’re interested to stay up to date, follow us on Twitter, join us on Discord or join our beta program.
