What’s happening in the new update? If you don’t want spoilers, stop reading now. Below are some details of what players can expect in the Alien Invasion.
8 mysterious clouds will appear in the bubble. The Bubble, also known as Core Systems or Core Worlds, consists of several star systems. The areas also include an area where a majority of the people live.
Each of the clouds comes with a name and a marker, allowing players to scan the clouds and mark them as targets. Next, they can fly into the clouds. You will encounter the residents whose behavior you should observe more closely.
Once the clouds are in position, war will break out. The Thargoids begin sending out ships that destroy human buildings, including important structures such as starports.
Players who are fans of combat gameplay can position themselves at a base and attempt to push back enemy forces. On the other hand, if you want to support humanity more peacefully, you can also carry out other missions, such as important deliveries.
The game’s developers believe that the new update and major events in the game will provide suitable gameplay for all playstyles.
