It's real! New RimWorld DLC has been confirmed and it's called Odyssey. A lot of very exciting new changes have been revealed in the blog post so far. Check out my video for full coverage of all the major changes.
New Features
Some of the new features announced are:
- Space ships! – You can now build a moving home and live like a nomad or simply settle more than one colony.
- Birds – We finally have real flighted animals (and pawns) including: peacocks, chickens, geese, quail, wasp drones and more.
- New end game boss – An “unnatural and evil” mind stirs in the depths of space that controls the mechanoids to eradicate humanity. Will you vanquish this new foe or take over it's powers for yourself?
- New biomes – molten worlds with flowing lava, apocalyptic urban hellscapes and derelicts space stations and asteriods; exploration is a huge part of this new update.
- QoL and performance improvements – the free 1.6 update also includes massive performance improvements with multi-threaded lighting and pathing calculations as well as new tools to play RimWorld in the most ergonomic way possible. No need for 10s of third party mods.
