Pandora reaches the Steam planet!
The successful 4X lands on Steam with a FREE major expansion


Epsom, UK – May 30, 2014.


While Distant Worlds: Universe is riding a wave of success on the Steam platform – reaching regularly the top #10 of the top sellers category since its release – the Slitherine Group is pleased to announce the release of another sci-fi 4X game on Steam with Pandora: First Contact.

To celebrate this event, developers Proxy-Studios are releasing a brand new expansion called Return of the Messari. This add-on features the arrival of the Messari, a new alien faction who return to Pandora in the later stage of the game. This ancient civilization benefits from advanced weapons and can easily spoil your day! The Messari will target the stronger factions as a priority which has interesting effects on the balance of power on Pandora. As a result the players will have to integrate these troublemakers into their strategy so as not to become the focal point of this fearsome invasion.

Last but not least, we are delighted to announce that this expansion will be totally FREE! So players will be able to download this exciting new content for no extra cost whatever they bought the base game from Steam or from our online stores.


Get more information on Pandora: First Contact from its official Steam product page.
