Terra Invicta - Dark Skies is the most recent news to be released around Terra Invicta. In Terra Invictas first DLC, players will be able to experience, play through, and defeat the alien threat in two new unique scenarios. The 2003 scenario begins on the eve of the US-led invasion of Iraq. Combat the alien threat long before the battle reaches the stars with new tech, projects, strategies, and tactics. The second scenario, the Broken Earth Scenario, thrusts players into an alternate history where the Cuban Missile Crisis went hot, causing the world to destroy itself with nuclear war. In the following century, the world that emerged is unrecognizable, and a divided humanity must claw its way back from the brink to combat an implacable alien force.
This DLC will also include two new shipsets for players to customize their visual style, a NASA-inspired set and an industrial hard sci-fi-inspired set. Check out the announcement post right here and make sure to check out the announcement trailer below.
