Empyrion – Galactic Survival unveils its first Dark Faction expansion: A new dark era in space
Eleon Game Studios announced the release of Dark Faction, the very first extension ofEmpyrion – Galactic Survival. Available on the Steam platform for €9,99, this expansion marks a new stage in the universe of this acclaimed space survival game. Nearly eight years after its Early Access launch and four years after its full release, Dark Faction promises players a new experience and a captivating story.
Dark Faction brings a plethora of new features that enhance the already rich gameplay of Empyrion – Galactic Survival. Whether in single-player or co-op mode, players will be immersed in an immersive adventure discovering the origins of an emerging galactic power, spreading at alarming speed across space. Their mission will be to explore corrupt planets under the influence of the Dark Faction, attempting to liberate these territories to slow down the advance of corruption, or even eliminate it.
One of the most anticipated new features is the introduction of melee combat with energy swords, offering players new tactical perspectives. In addition, a ballistic projectile weapon system including the bow and grenade launcher will eliminate enemies from a distance. Darkfield technology shakes up the rules of war, prompting players to craft new devices like the Disruption Turret to neutralize enemy ships by cutting off their power supply.
The construction aspect is not left out with the possibility for players to design their own ships and planetary bases in the organic style of the Dark Faction using their materials.
Funcom, the studio behind hit titles such as Dune: Awakening and Conan Exiles, is collaborating with Eleon Game Studios to support Dark Faction on both marketing and financial fronts. This collaboration aims to fully develop the potential of this galactic sandbox experience, while setting the stage for future projects.
Eric Lucas, co-founder of Eleon Game Studios, shared his excitement about this expansion: “Dark Faction offers a completely new Empyrion experience, geared towards action and intensity. It's a dark and mysterious game that will test even the most seasoned players. Additionally, this expansion marks our continued commitment to providing free updates for the base game. »
