We’ve heard your feedback about faction playability and the desire for more distinctive experiences. In Fractured Utopias, each faction now offers truly unique gameplay.
The DLC introduces a redesigned starting screen, where you choose one of 8 well-known factions to shape your city’s destiny. This decision determines the type of utopia you will strive to build. Will you pursue technological dominance with the Technocrats? Or lead a militarized society with the Legionnaires? The choice is yours.
From the moment you select your faction, you gain access to a unique skill tree, unlocking new abilities, buildings, and hubs. Progress through it by performing actions that earn the favor of your chosen faction.
Each faction also comes with distinct traits, providing passive bonuses that support your city’s survival and efficiency. As you advance, you will notice your city gradually transforming to reflect your faction’s theme, making every playthrough truly dedicated to your chosen faction.
Fractured Utopias adds two new narrative Tales, and a new map designed on their basis, introducing fresh challenges and threats to your city:
Plague - A mysterious disease spreads rapidly. Act fast to discover the cure before your city turns into a frozen graveyard.
Doomsayers - A new faction emerges, spreading despair and declaring that all hope is lost. They will sabotage your city’s morale, forcing you to confront their growing influence.
We can’t wait for you to experience Fractured Utopias. We hope this new chapter brings even more depth, challenge, and emotional connection to your city, and strengthens the bond you’ve built with your favorite factions.
Stay warm, Citizens. We will need you to turn these scatters into real utopia... ~ 11 bit studios Team
