‘STELLAR PHENOMENA’ DLC now available for SINS OF A SOLAR EMPIRE: REBELLION

Award-winning strategy game expands with deep space anomalies and random events

PLYMOUTH, MI. – Nov. 6, 2013 – Explore the mysteries of deep space in the second downloadable content (DLC) pack released for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. The Stellar Phenomena DLC is available now from Stardock, Steam and other third-party digital distributors for $4.99.

The ever-expanding conflicts within and between the TEC, Vasari, and Advent have pushed the battlegrounds into uncharted space. The sectors now being drawn into the war feature the most dangerous and powerful natural phenomena in the galaxy.

Nine new deep space anomalies populate the void. Skirt the boundary of a deadly black hole, mine the riches in the wreckage of a devastating fleet battle or recharge at an inexplicable fountain of antimatter tearing apart the fabric of space-time. Each anomaly’s all-new gameplay effect adds variety and strategic opportunities to every map.

In addition, Stellar Phenomena lets players seize the moment with 11 optional random events that can alter the fate of not just your empire but the galaxy at large. Stars launch volatile gases that shut down orbital operations, mobile storms wreak havoc across the solar system, and conquered factions sense your weakness and seek to reclaim their worlds.

Exploit what resources remain in these dangerous sectors while you can. The uncharted depths of space hold threats beyond any natural phenomenon, and not all of them wait to be explored.

About Blackguards

Blackguards is probably one of the bleakest stories ever told in the universe of ‘The Dark Eye’:

What if the only remaining hope of a world is not a company of virtuous heroes, but instead a bunch of outcasts and criminals? Blackguards will answer this very question. The player takes on the role of a convicted murderer, accompanied by a group of no less dubious characters.

They may spare the world its grim fate, but their good deeds are neither acts of kindness nor heroism, but according to their roguish nature rather a result of their attempts to save their own hides.
Staying alive is a feat of its own, since not only the long arm of the law wants their heads, but there are also other, mysterious powers with much more sinister intentions on their trail. As if all this wasn’t enough, Aventuria’s south is crawling with dangerous beasts and monsters…

Blackguards is a turn-based RPG with strategic combat and combines the studio’s high standards of storytelling and unique characters with thrilling action and an elaborate 3D environment.

Challenging quests lead the player through a dark story of doubt, treachery and loss.
