LONDON – June 10, 2021 – (Ground control to) Major update: Publisher The Irregular Corporation and developer Auroch Digital today announced that hit space agency builder game, Mars Horizon, is landing on Epic Games Store alongside a new “Expanded Horizons” update on June 22 on all platforms that comes with a surplus of brand-new space-sized additions to take your journey to Mars to astronomical new heights.

Expanded Horizons includes an engaging new sandbox mode that will satisfy the most adventurous players, along with the new ultra-hard Iron Core mode – y’know, just in case sending a spacecraft to Mars wasn’t challenging enough. Also included are new missions inspired by Mars Perseverance, additional achievements and other enhancements.

Accompanying this update is a new 30% off sale on Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Steam and Nintendo Switch. Curious mission control operators can try out the game on Switch with a brand new demo coming soon to Nintendo eShop.

Launched last fall, Mars Horizon players take on the role of an administrator with control of their very own space agency at the dawn of the space age. Begin by building up your facilities with the end goal of touching down on the surface of Mars. Players will have to manage the resources of time, science, public support and, of course, funds, as they work to complete missions and safely send their astronauts into space. Players will also contend with other major space agencies who have the same goal, choosing to work together or venture out on their own.

In Mars Horizon, the space race is back on and it’s as real as ever with Expanded Horizons. During missions, players are faced with tense turn-based gameplay that determines their success or failure. Every single decision is critical. Do you spend power to fix a malfunctioning antenna or save it in case of an oxygen leak? Perhaps risking that extra three months of mission planning could have avoided this issue?

Launch over to Twitter and follow @AurochDigital and @IrregularCorp for updates. Additionally, head to the official site for more information.
