Triumph Studios’ second major expansion for its space 4X strategy Age of Wonders: Planetfall is now available. Invasions introduces the Shakarn, a new violent faction that are hell-bent on conquest (and use holographic disguises to imitate enemies). A new NPC race has also been added with the Therians who have combined their DNA with animals and can either fight with or against you.

In terms of campaign missions, players will have two new maps with one seeing the Shakarn invading the Egalitarian League of Planets. New World Events have also been added in the form of catastrophes like superstorms, solar flares and even pirates. You’ll also have to contend with a new late-game threat – the Voidbringers.

Capable of traveling between dimensions, the Voidbringers can send numerous armies at you at a time. You can either halt their advance or pledge yourself to the void, as it were. Finally, there’s the new Conquered Worlds multiplayer mode where several players must team together to fight a single player with a large empire.

Though perhaps not as well regarded as its predecessor, Age of Wonders: Planetfall continues to receive updates and paid DLC to further expand its brand of sci-fi strategy. The latest DLC, Invasions, releases on May 26th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC and introduces the Shakarn along with a new NPC race, the Therians. Check out the trailer below.

While the Therians are all about combining their DNA with animals in strange ways, the Shakarn are the antagonistic kind of species. They live to conquer and have arrived on the planet to do just that. New campaign maps will be available and there’s even a new mode where several players can team up to take on a single superpower ruled by another player.

But that’s not all. A new end-game threat, the Voidbringers, is also included along with solar flares, pirates and several other world events. Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Invasions is only the second DLC for the title. A third DLC is out this Fall. Stay tuned for more details on both in the coming months.
