Developer EXOR Studios announced a new expansion coming to base-building survival game The Riftbreaker. Titled Metal Terror, it will be coming out on May 30th, 2022, allowing players to explore an entirely new area of Galatea 37 – the Metallic Valley.
This previously unexplored biome holds many secrets. You will encounter creature species, unlike anything you’ve seen before. You will gather information about the strange ways that the local flora has adapted to the conditions of this biome. You will conduct research on anomalous objects that might open the door to unlocking powerful technological advancements. However, some of the things that you find there might send a shiver down your spine.
