Star Control: Origins’ Earth Rising has launched on Steam

A new chapter of the Star Control: Origins has started, with the arrival of the game’s “Earth Rising” season pass bring new quests, ships, precursor relics and a new Alien faction to the game. 

Earth Rising is a four-part season pass for Star Control: Origins, with part one of the pass releasing in the form of Aftermath. Part 2: The Lexites will release in winter 2019 (early 2019), part 3: The Syndicate will launch in Spring 2019, and part 4: Earth Rises will become available during Summer 2019.

In the US this DLC will cost $19.99, translating nicely to £15.49 in the UK, with an early adopter discount of 10% bringing the price down to £13.94. This cost covers all four parts of the season pass, with Stardock offering no option to buy each part of the 4-part pass separately. 

With Aftermath, players will discover that unknown forces are conspiring to undermine the early success of the human empire, with another race, called “the Gloosh”, acting as a potential new ally. Star Control has ordered that a new base is to be constructed at Epsilon Trireme, a move which will no doubt cause discontent amongst humanity’s detractors. 

    Continue the Star Control: Origins story with Earth Rising! Now that humans are a major player on the galactic scene, one question remains: how will they use their influence, and how will their interstellar neighbors feel about it?

Earth Rising is a 4-part season pass that contains new quests, ships, rewards, and story that is tied to humanity’s quest for establishing themselves as a major galactic power. Explore new stars, solve newly discovered mysteries, and form relationships with new alien races and their leaders.
