Barotrauma DLC expansion ‘Home & Harbor launches this fall
Outpost ownership, building and management, and a mysterious new faction.
Barotrauma downloadable content “Home & Harbor Expansion” will launch this fall, publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developers FakeFish and Undertow Games announced.
Here is an overview of the expansion, via its Steam page:
“Home & Harbor Expansion” is the upcoming expansion for Barotrauma. Introducing outpost ownership, building and management and a mysterious new faction: The Descendants, which will shake up the world of Europa‘s merry sailors.
New Feature: Outpost Ownership and Base Building
“Home & Harbor Expansion” will enable you to assume control of your very own deep-sea outpost—or conquer existing ones by force!
Expand your outpost by adding new modules. Manage your NPC inhabitants and build workshops to establish an industry. Improve your base of operations and gain access to new technologies via a dedicated research and unlock tree.
Express yourself, Barotrauma-style! Plenty of customization options will allow you to make that outpost your own. Will your outpost be an inviting and optimized habitat, or a run-down and shoddy dwelling?
New Faction: The Descendants
A new, mysterious faction will enter the scene. The technocratic, body-modified “Descendants” utilize alien technology and add a new layer of intrigue to the Barotrauma universe. With them, a range of new items, doodads and curiosities will be added.
More Faction Interaction, More Story
“Home & Harbor Expansion” will add more depth to Barotrauma‘s faction system. Roaming submarines will directly contribute to NPC outpost economy. Trade with allies, duke it out with enemies—maybe send them over a friendly gift (not Husk infected of course). At the same time, the world of Barotrauma will become more alive: NPC factions will also interact with each other, trade, gain or lose ground, outside of player actions.
A new chapter in the story of Barotrauma will be written. With the arrival of The Descendants, further light will be cast on the mysteries of Europa…
Barotrauma is available now for PC via Steam.
