It’s been a whole year since Digital Extremes first announced its space combat project Railjack at TennoCon 2018. While the expansion’s release date remains elusive (and the name has changed to Empyrean), thanks to today’s TennoCon presentation, we now know a few more details about the expansion’s gameplay. This includes a mission which feels like it’s straight out of Star Wars, albeit with fewer Ewoks.
Oh, and there’s also new story trailers, a cinematic opening and a teaser for the upcoming Duviri Paradox open-world expansion. Phew.
During a live demo, Digital Extremes showed off Empyrean’s squad link feature, which will allow separate squads to connect their objectives. When one team got in trouble after a disruptor beam hits their Railjack, they called for help from a friendly ground crew, who took a pause from fishing to take out the enemy base. Digital Extremes described this to press as its very own “recreation of the Battle of Endor”, which is frankly all I need to know.
