New Expansion for Surviving Mars Announced - Explore Caves and Mine Asteroids

Surviving Mars: Below & Beyond is the next big expansion for the 2018 space city builder. The DLC will enable us to explore the underground and mine resources from asteroids.

It was announced in March that the great space strategy game Surviving Mars would receive a major expansion later this year. The developers have kept their promise - publisher Paradox Interactive and Abstraction announced the imminent launch of a DLC titled Below & Beyond. The expansion will be released on September 7, 2021 and will introduce a strong breath of fresh air to the game - from now on, players will be able to extract resources from asteroids and build colonies in underground caverns.

The DLC will introduce new buildings, vehicles, upgrades, resources and locations. It will also enable us to set up colonies in natural caves and tunnels we hollowed out. The catch is that caution will be necessary - if the ground collapses above us, we'll lose all our structures. Another new feature is the ability to obtain raw materials and data samples from passing asteroids, and special rockets will be used for this. However, we'll have to remember to return to base before the asteroid leaves the Red Planet's orbit - otherwise we'll lose our people and the exotic resources they acquired.

The add-on will be available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Currently, its suggested price is $19.99.
