Press release:
San Sebastian de los Reyes, Spain – February 15, 2018 – MercurySteam announces today that a new playable character joins Raiders of the Broken Planet, the deranged assassin Doldren. This new Raider is the last character to be released as part of Raiders of the Broken Planet´s second campaign, Wardog Fury, and can be recruited by all players, irrespective of which campaign they own.
Doldren is a native to the Broken Planet but, unlike Harec or Iune who reluctantly abandoned their people’s peaceful ways to take arms against the Terran invasion, Doldren is considered an irredeemable monster among the culture that gave him birth. His insatiable thirst for blood saw him jailed in the Pit of Repudiation, where he was to end his days in total seclusion, but when the invading humans assaulted the ancient gaol, Doldren was set free by his desperate captors as a final act of vengeance upon the Terrans.
For Doldren, the invasion of the Broken Planet is a blessing, as he can now put his talents for murder to use without fear of reprisal. Having heard of his dark reputation, Harec accepted him into the Raiders, acknowledging his usefulness as a peerless warrior, but the taciturn leader of the Raiders understands full well that Doldren might as well slit his teammates’ throats the moment he has no other victims within reach.
Doldren’s talents reside in his ability to ambush enemy forces, projecting his essence and rematerializing his body near unsuspecting foes, making short work of them with high-caliber revolvers or dealing the killing blow with his own hands.
Raiders of the Broken Planet is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The latest game update recently incorporated several new features such as the Free Mission of the Week and the Invitation system, allowing new players to enjoy a significant portion of the game for free. These new additions are just a taste of a significant redesign that will accompany Raiders of the Broken Planet’s third campaign, Hades Betrayal, launching in Q1 2018.

About Raiders of the Broken Planet
An incredible discovery on one of Saturn’s moons leads a force of humans to the Broken Planet on the far reaches of the Universe. A source of energy called Aleph exists there that grants ultimate power to whoever controls it…
However, the human forces split into factions and fight amongst themselves for dominion over the Aleph. The peaceful inhabitants of the planet are caught in the crossfire, but a hero emerges amongst them who hopes to lead his people to freedom…
Using nefarious means and exploiting the disunity amongst the human ranks, Harec recruits a rag tag group of rogues, outlaws and hired guns from the various factions and pits them against those who would destroy his people…
Raiders of the Broken Planet is a brand-new take on the shooter genre. Through its 4 vs 1 counter-operative campaign, you experience both sides of the story: Join the Raiders in their fight to free the legendary Broken Planet, or become The Antagonist: Switch sides and fight the Raiders on your own alongside the invading hordes!
