RimWorld: Anomaly – DLC Expansion Adds Paranoia, War & Mystery

13 March 2024 at 22:02 in Gaming News with no comments

Ludeon Studios has announced RimWorld: Anomaly, the colony sim’s newest expansion that is coming alongside update 1.5 and it’s going to make things a whole lot more horrifying.

What is RimWorld: Anomaly?

RimWorld: Anomaly has been announced and it’s a horror-themed expansion that is heavily inspired by Cabin in the Woods, The Cthulhu mythos, The Thing, and many more classic horror stories.

But it wouldn’t be much of a horror story if you weren’t involved, and Anomaly is going to throw you into the middle of you’re very own story of paranoia, war, monsters, and mystery.

In-game cosmetics

Ludeon Studios has teased us with the following details of just a few of things we can expect from the DLC.

  • When a psychically-invisible hunter of human souls stalks the outside of your walls searching for more victims, it’s up to you to hunt it and kill it and study examples of it to learn more.
  • The land is being devoured by a massive flesh creature that’s consuming everything in its path and growing at an alarming rate. To get to its heart and kill it, you’ll first need to collect samples of its nervous system and take care of the beasts and acid that protect it.
  • Your colonists are finding themselves mind-controlled by a parasite, and it’s only you that’s capable of tracking down evidence, imprisoning suspects, and medically testing people to get to the bottom of the mystery.
  • A golden cube becomes the center of your colonists’ attention, and one-by-one they become obsessed. Worshipping it until it takes over their entire lives.
  • A mysterious obelisk appears, but just what it does and how dangerous it is, nobody is sure.
  • Things get spooky when a corpse looking like one of your colonists appears and begins to follow them.

RimWorld gameplay changes

Anomaly means new monsters and creatures to fight, and learning about the fleshbeasts, undead, death-machines, and whatever other horrors you encounter will be key to defeating them. To that end you’ll be capturing all kinds of manifestations and locking them into a grand containment facility that you can expand and reinforce. How far you go to gain their power is up to you.

In-game cosmetics

Your studies will have you harvesting bioferrite, which you can then use to craft experimental serums, flamethrowers, insanity-inducing weapons, and all kinds of serious weaponry.

One thing is for sure, all your hardwork will be worth it in the new endgame where darkness descends and the machine god appears. Will you defeat it or join it?

RimWorld Update 1.5

It’s not just Anomaly coming, but update 1.5, which will land next month. If you want to try update 1.5 before it goes live you can do so on the unstable Steam branch.
