Stellar Mercenaries has just rolled out its most ambitious update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, effectively doubling the game's content with new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and gear. This expansion introduces two new factions, the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, locked in a fierce battle for dominance around Jupiter and its moons.
Dive into 50 new missions spread across five distinct worlds, with objectives ranging from escort operations to piracy, train defense, and hyperspace hunts. With the addition of six new ships—the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightening, and Skybreaker—players can now tailor their fleet to their preferred playstyle, each ship offering unique abilities and configurations.
The update also introduces six new weapons, including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam, enhancing the combat experience. Defensive options are bolstered with Tier 4 shields and armours, while new special abilities and mods like Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate offer strategic depth.
Enemy encounters are now more challenging with the introduction of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, who adapt and evolve alongside your progress. Dynamic environmental hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the new deep space threat, the Pacifier, add an extra layer of intensity.
For those craving more variety, the new side mission system keeps the gameplay fresh and unpredictable, accompanied by 14 new music tracks that enhance the sci-fi atmosphere. The Hangar Manager has also been upgraded, allowing for better management of your arsenal with expanded inventory and loadout slots.
