Stellar Mercenaries has just rolled out an exciting new update that's set to take your gaming experience to new heights with the Jupiter Expansion. This massive update nearly doubles the game's content, introducing more worlds, enemies, and missions to explore.

If you're new to Stellar Mercenaries, let me catch you up: it's a thrilling vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. Dive into procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and strive to become the most feared mercenary in the solar system.

What's New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?

The Jupiter Expansion transforms Jupiter and its moons into epic battlegrounds. Ganymede challenges you with its barren wastelands, Io with its volcanic debris, and Europa with its frozen and treacherous landscapes. Jupiter itself is teeming with storms, adding to the intensity of your missions.

New factions enter the fray: the powerful Jovian Empire, aiming to dominate the region, and the chaotic Pirate Council, a band of outlaws seeking chaos and riches.

The expansion brings 50 fresh missions with diverse objectives, from hyperspace hunting to piracy, escort, and train defense missions. You'll have plenty of new challenges to tackle.

Six brand-new ships join the fleet: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Additionally, a new arsenal of weapons awaits, including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

New Hazards, Shields, and More

The update also introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, enhancing your defense capabilities. New hazards to navigate include asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have leveled up, with new classes like Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk adding to the challenge.

To complement the action, 14 new music tracks have been added, along with a new side missions system. Don't miss out on this expanded universe—dive into Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store and experience all the new content!
