Jupiter Expansion: Stellar Mercenaries' Largest Update Released

Stellar Mercenaries has just launched its most expansive update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. This update introduces over 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, alongside six new weapons and ships, and a brand-new side mission system.

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

With six new ships added - the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker - players can tailor their fleet to suit their preferred playstyle. Each ship comes with unique abilities and configurations, enhancing the strategic depth of your fleet.

The update also introduces six new weapons to ramp up the combat intensity: the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. Defensive options have been upgraded with Tier 4 shields and armours, and new special abilities and mods such as Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate offer even more tactical choices.

Enemy encounters are now more challenging with the addition of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, formidable foes that grow with you. Dynamic environmental hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the menacing Pacifier add thrilling layers to your space battles.

For those looking to explore beyond the main campaign, the new side mission system ensures that the action remains unpredictable. Additionally, 14 new music tracks enrich the immersive sci-fi atmosphere, while the expanded Hangar Manager allows for better arsenal management with increased inventory and loadout slots.
