Even More Coming to The Solus Project

Last month we told you about how episode 2 of The Solus Project added an entirely new island. Now developer Teotl Studios and publisher Grip Digital has announced that they will be releasing the huge, entirely free ‘Highpoint Expansion’ for the game.

In this expansion, players are able to explore “the new and very vertical” titular island. There’s a whole load of new content, including over three hours worth of story and gameplay as well as a massive cave level and plenty of other different environments to investigate besides. This includes “acid lakes, dozens of strange flying orbs, a monstrous creature, and, last but not least, a massive windmill.” In addition to all of this new content is a patch that fixes various bugs and balances some of the game’s features too.

For gamers who already own the base game, the expansion is free and already available for PC via Steam and GOG. However, gamers with the Xbox One version will gain access to the expansion from the 15th of April. Check out the trailer above as well as the full press release and our screenshot gallery below.
