Along with the date, the studio also revealed a (brief) trailer for the expansion, which shows off some more of its darker tone (at least compared to most of the base game). The story is centered on the mysterious faction known as “House Va’Ruun” and its homeworld, where players will encounter a “frightening new cosmic threat and uncover the secrets behind the galaxy’s most enigmatic faction.”

Really, though, the trailer is focused primarily on a specific, much-requested feature: a land vehicle called the REV-8. It’s available as part of a free update launching later today, and should make exploring planets a lot less tedious.
