Stellar Mercenaries has just launched an exciting new upgrade, bringing the battle to the largest planet in our solar system. The Jupiter Expansion is now live, and it's almost doubling the game's content, with more worlds, more enemies, and more missions to conquer.

If you're new to the game, Stellar Mercenaries is a thrilling vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. You'll 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?

With the Jupiter Expansion, Jupiter itself transforms into a battleground, alongside its well-known moons: Ganymede, Io, and Europa. Each moon presents unique challenges: Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is covered in volcanic debris, and Europa is frozen and treacherous. Jupiter, on the other hand, is filled with turbulent storms.

The expansion introduces two new factions to the mix. The Jovian Empire is a formidable military force aiming to dominate the region, while the Pirate Council is a chaotic alliance of outlaws seeking their own slice of the action.

Dive into 50 fresh missions with new objectives. From hyperspace hunting where you track down elusive targets, to piracy missions, escort missions, and even train defense missions, there's plenty to keep you engaged.

The update also introduces six brand-new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Enhance your arsenal with new weapons like the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.
