Stellar Mercenaries releases its biggest update yet in the form of the Jupiter Expansion

Stellar Mercenaries has just unleashed its most significant update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, dramatically expanding the game's universe. This update introduces over 50 new missions spread across five distinct worlds, alongside the addition of six new weapons and ships. A fresh side mission system also makes its debut, ensuring an ever-evolving gameplay experience.

The Jupiter Expansion brings new factions into the fray, the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, who are locked in a fierce battle for dominance around Jupiter and its moons. Players can dive into a variety of new missions, ranging from escort operations and piracy to train defense and thrilling hyperspace hunts.

With the addition of six new ships - the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightening, and Skybreaker - players can tailor their fleet to suit their preferred playstyle. Each ship comes with unique abilities and configurations, offering versatility in combat scenarios.

Combat dynamics receive a significant boost with the introduction of six new weapons: the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. Defensive upgrades are also enhanced with Tier 4 shields and armors. New special abilities and mods, such as Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate, introduce fresh strategic elements to the gameplay.

Enemy encounters have become more challenging with the introduction of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries. These powerful adversaries adapt and evolve with your progress. Dynamic environmental hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the menacing Pacifier lurking in deep space add layers of complexity to your missions.

Beyond the main campaign, the new side mission system keeps the action fresh and unpredictable. The update also includes 14 new music tracks, enhancing the immersive sci-fi atmosphere. Additionally, the Hangar Manager now allows for more effective arsenal management, with expanded inventory and loadout slots.
