Arcen Games has announced the AI War 2 Zenith Onslaught DLC launch date which is set for next month on May 18, 2021. According to Arcen Games, this will be a big expansion update for the space strategy cult hit.
The AI War 2 Zenith Onslaught DLC is packed with features that range from small details like the new powerful elite Cruisers that you can put in a new slot in your fleets, to galaxy-spanning empires like the Dark Zenith and the Zenith Architrave. In addition, the expansion is full of new tools to use and new foes to untangle.
Lead developer Chris McElligott Park had this to say,
The new Paradigm Shift update (v2.800) for AI War 2 reimagines players’ relationship to luck within the context of the game. Procedural generation is an excellent tool often misused, but we’ve always had two competing ideologies within the AI War titles: one, you’re constructing an empire of your own design; and two, you’re having to adapt to what you find and be clever with tools that are not always your top favorites.
There has always been a push and pull between these two competing ideas, and this new Paradigm Shift, as we call it, brings them into greater balance, while also reducing the impact of luck, and increasing the number of shooting conflicts you’re likely to get into.
Check out the trailer below:
AI War 2 is a grand strategy RTS hybrid against an overwhelming, inhuman enemy who has conquered the galaxy. The enemy has made only a single error: underestimating you. You must steal as much technology as you can, take enough territory to fortify your bases and launch your attacks. But every conquest you make turns the attention of the AI ever more in your direction… so choose your targets with care.
The DLC will also launch alongside the full launch of the multiplayer mode of the game. However, Arcen Games will release more information about it sometime next month.
