Press release:
San Sebastian de los Reyes, Spain – September 30th, 2019 – Independent development studio MercurySteam launched today ‘Heavy Metal’, the new game update for its Free to Play 4v1 shooter “Spacelords“, available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows 10 and PC Steam.

This much awaited update is designed to increase the weapon customization options for all players.

The new Forge System allows players to build up to five different versions of the same weapon with parts obtained during matches.

This new system allows much more freedom for the players to build a weapon that suits their playing style. The classic Spacelords’ Blueprints will remain as special prizes, having become more powerful to reflect their new high-ranking status.

But the Heavy Metal update introduces another important change: the Talent System. This new Talent tree will further emphasize the player’s control over the way his character plays.

The new update will also introduce new and exciting gameplay options, like the ability to throw Aleph blasts to your enemies.

“The ‘Heavy Metal’ update is all about giving players more power and flexibility,” commented Enric Álvarez, Game Director.

“With the plethora of new opportunities offered by the revamped Forge System and the new Talent tree, no two players will ever field the same Spacelord again.”

Spacelords is as a Free to Play gaming experience for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam and Windows 10, including full cross-playing among all platforms.

‘Heavy Metal’, Spacelord’s latest major game update is available today for all users. For more information, visit Spacelords’ website: www.spacelordsthegame.com.

About Spacelords
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…

Spacelords is a brand-new take on the shooter genre.

Through its Free to Play, 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!
