Terra Invicta - Dark Skies is Released

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Greetings Terrans!

Terra Invicta - Dark Skies is now available with a 10% discount.

What if the world as we know it had already ended before the aliens arrived? What if humanity had twenty more years to prepare? Explore two new starting scenarios in Terra Invicta - Dark Skies and face the existential threat of an alien invasion with new challenges and opportunities. Drop into a world shattered by nuclear fire over a century ago, or rewind to 2003 and trade the rush to the stars for a longer, slower fight on Earth. The premise changes, but the threat doesn’t – aliens are coming, and it's time to fight back.

Make sure to check out the release-day trailer below, too.

Terra Invicta - Dark Skies includes:

  • 2003 Scenario - Take command of your faction during the US-led invasion of Iraq, as Earth's nations spiral into diplomatic turmoil and the true enemy begins moving in the shadows. With new projects and techs to research, and an alien force served by powerful sympathizers ready to counter your every move, you'll need fresh tactics to fight back. Learn to win a war few believe is happening -- long before the battle ever reaches the stars.
  • Broken Earth Scenario - Step into an alternate history where the Cuban Missile Crisis erupted into nuclear war. Over a century ago, the world that emerged is unrecognizable – the great powers have fractured, redrawing borders and giving rise to new nations. A divided humanity must claw its way back to strength to stand a chance against an implacable alien force. The world is at its weakest, and the worst is yet to come.
  • 2 New Ship Sets - Choose between two new visual styles, NASA-inspired or industrial hard sci-fi, to personalize your fleet’s appearance as you design it.

Steam Reviews: Your Feedback Matters


Dark Skies is now out, and we’d really like to hear what you think about it in a Steam review. Your thoughts help us understand what you like about the DLC, what isn’t working as well, and what you think could be changed.

So if you’ve played Dark Skies, please consider leaving a Steam review. It can be short. Even a few honest sentences about your experience are useful, both for us and for other players trying to decide whether the DLC is for them.

Thanks to some feedback from players, we're slowing down the timing of Earth invasion fleets in the DLC scenarios. This was occurring in the 2003 start in part due to a bug, but we're also adjusting some AI settings as well to appropriately scale the challenge the game is providing for both scenarios.
