Dawn of Aziel rises on Osiris: New Dawn

Fenix Fire Entertainment and Reverb Triple XP have announced that the Dawn of Aziel update for Osiris: New Dawn is now available on Steam, and the main game also has 20% off to celebrate, now costing £15.19.

"With this major content update, we're taking the first step in crafting the interplanetary experience for Osiris," said Brian McRae, CEO and founder of Fenix Fire Entertainment. "The huge amount of new content that we're delivering adds advanced gameplay depth on the first planet - Proteus II - and gives our future explorers the first glimpse of what they'll find on the frozen world of Aziel. Dawn of Aziel is our first major update that introduces the diverse, dangerous type of worlds gamers will discover, survive, and colonise in this alien space system."

Key features include the expansive new frozen moon of Aziel, three times the size of Proteus II, and a new proficiency and skill tree system is also included. New weapons, landmines, booster stimulants, and the Biodome base structure are also in the update as well, not to mention functioning habitat furniture and outdoor utilities.

"The Osiris: New Dawn mission begins in 2046 A.D. after mankind's revolutionary discovery of near-lightspeed "fold engine" propulsion abilities," the press release explains. "This has landed the Osiris expeditionary mission team in the Gliese 581 system 20 light years away. As part of the second colonisation team sent by the U.N.E. (United Nations of Earth) to study planets for potential Earth re-population, the spacecraft malfunctions, braking violently from light speed and forcing an emergency landing on the planet's surface. Players must overcome the dangers of unpredictable weather conditions by building a central base, expanding the structure further with modular units to grow food, creating research centers, manufacturing bays and uncovering the dark events behind the missing Osiris-1 team, threatening Project Osiris."
