Hello everyone!
It’s time to officially announce that Barotrauma is getting a major expansion: the Home and Harbor DLC is planned for release next year, with brand new gameplay, mechanics, and story.
The upcoming expansion consists of two main parts: Base building and a new faction. Both tie in seamlessly with the basegame campaign, unlocking new ways to enjoy Barotrauma.
Base building
The Home and Harbor expansion brings a whole new dimension to the game: You will be able to gain ownership of your very own outpost. You can then upgrade, expand, customize, manage and defend your base in many different ways, and gain perks that help you along your campaign.
New faction: the Descendants
In addition to the player outpost gameplay, Home and Harbor introduces an entirely new faction. The Descendants are a mysterious, high-tech faction that trace their origins to the early days of human habitation on Europa. Their storyline will shine a new light on the moon’s secrets, as well as present you with a lot of new challenges and rewards.
Accompanied by a free update
Home and Harbor will be released alongside a sizable free game update, which all Barotrauma players get to enjoy! This update ties the DLC features in with the main game content, and brings new life to the icy ocean for everyone.
