This will make the last week of waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 just fly by! What a cool thing. I don’t know if I was even aware they were working on a (third?) expansion, though I saw hints of something coming on Twitter last week.
I assume this is NOT part of the season pass, which I believe I got everything out of that was promised (part of why I didn’t think we’d get more content)?

It is part of the season pass. Only 2 (of 3) expansions have been released for it thus far: Invasions and Revelations.
The Age of Wonders: Planetfall Season Pass includes three post launch expansions and an instant reward!
Oh, good deal! I’ve never been happier to be wrong!
It is. I have the season pass on GOG and I see the new expansion as “owned”. Sweet.
Gonna look weird when the gigantic titan unit is to scale on the map compared to cities, but the other units are just as tall but not to scale.
They do alot of prep work before the announcements.
When they announce, the game is basically “ready” but there is a longish process getting it certified for console apparently.
Between now and release they’ll be compiling bug fixes for an early patch I believe.
I believe that’s just one unit?

Last DLC, time for me to begin! :)
It may not be the last DLC. Considering Paradox’ love for DLC, chances are there will be a second season pass. After all, it’s already standard practice in a few genres (Anno, fighting games, etc).
Dev Journal from a few days ago covering the new playable race, the Oathbound:
Entirely possible.
I mean, there are still things that could be added.
That said, the game is … large already, and the way it works, throwing in new races and techs requires some thinking.
For my money, energy would be better spent tweaking a few things, e.g. making the Invasions and doomsday victory conditions a bit more entertaining and pressurised, respectively.
So it’s been pretty quite over here, but I hope you all are looking forward to the release of Star Kings next week. Alongside it we’re adding a brand new mode to the game that should provide new and interesting encounters. If you want to know more, you can read about it in today’s Dev Diary: Your Galactic Empire.

I’ve been counting the days. I’ve also been holding off on playing Planetfall since the expansion was announced so I wouldn’t overdo it and burn out on the game before I get the chance to dive in next week.
It looks to be a very entertaining time sink :D
It looks like it’s got more depth than I was expecting. Nice!
Yeah, this looks terrific.

My anticipation level for this upcoming expansion is quite high. I like what I see of the new faction and I like the idea of the new galactic campaign mode.
My only remaining wish is for a victory condition similar to the Seals from AoWIII, which I feel was the victory condition the AI was most competitive at. It provided some great back and forth for single player games.

Can I move in with you guys? It’s too scary here.

I was just watching a developer stream. I guess a free feature of the Star Kings DLC is some “Empire” mode. It lets you earn progression and unlocks through randomly generated planets. It sort of looks like a 4X version of Mortal Kombat towers. This could be darn cool.
Why does it have to come out right next to the Gladius DLC? I like Planetfall, but tend to enjoy my 40K war romp a tad more. There will be lots of 4X time in my November it would seem.
