Age of Wonders: Planetfall gets Invasions expansion in May

Paradox Interactive and Triumph Studios today announced Invasions, the next expansion to the 4X strategy game Age of Wonders: Planetfall, will arrive on May 26.

In Invasions, players switch roles into the conqueror’s chair and deploy as the Shakarn, a race of vicious lizardmen ready to deceive, disrupt, and destroy everything in their path to universal domination. Invasions also introduces the Therians, a mysterious faction of anthropomorphic NPCs who combined their DNA with that of animals to catalyze their evolution.

Two new campaign maps will also be included, as well as a juggernaut-style game mode where players team up to challenge a single player with a vast empire on a conquered world.

Invasions also brings a host of environmental events to the game, from pirate invasions to superstorms to solar flares. Finally, players face the ultimate late-game challenge as the enigmatic Voidbringers use trans-dimensional warfare to rain down legions of enthralled soldiers across their empires.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
