As if colony simRimWorlddoesn’t already have enough ways for your sci-fi frontier adventurers to die, a new expansion titled Anomaly is goiong to add “all manner of monstrous, mysterious, and maddening threats”. It’s out in around a month, and will be paired with a free 1.5 update for the base game.
The Anomaly expansion seems designed to increase the rate of terrible accidents and other grisly events, with a horror theme designed to inspire “dread, psychological tension, suspicion and mystery”.
New scenarios include a Thing-like parasite that can possess some of your colonists, without you knowing who, and a fleshbeast that grows across the landscape, covering the whole map and consuming all in its path. Colonists will be able to capture certain entities to study in their lab, and also to crawl around when downed, leaving blood smears along the lab floor when they’ve been mauled. Lovely.
RimWorld: Anomaly launches in one month, and update 1.5 should leave beta at the same time.
