Against the World Nightwatchers DLC to Deepen the Replayability Experience

Against the World Nightwatchers DLC is slated to release on July 31; no price point for the title has been revealed by Hooded Horse as of writing. The single-player strategy game is also receiving an update, readily available for all players regardless of whether they have purchased the paid DLC. 

Here are the features of The Nightwatchers expansion pack, as according to the official Steam posting: 

The Nightwatchers expansion pack introduces brand-new content that deepens the game’s replayability:

• Manage the Bats — a stern and fiercely devoted species with unmatched resilience and exceptional metallurgical skills.
• Exile sluggish villagers in the Manorial Court to boost the productivity of loyal workers.
• Explore 2 new biomes: the mineral-rich Rocky Ravine and the leafy sanctuary of the Bamboo Flats.
• Tame the unforgiving landscape of the Rocky Ravine, where even the trees are made of stone, and trade on credit at the Black Market to keep your settlement thriving.
• Settle the Bamboo Flats and care for the Fluffbeak’s hunger, thirst, and warmth to keep it happy and earn fertilizer – a key ingredient in producing fertile soil
• Engage in 3 new World Events and confront a tree-devouring Grazer, trigger an explosive experiment, and pay off a criminal group to escape their grasp.
• Claim powerful World Event rewards: from an on-demand syndicate trader to engine-boosting fuel rods, a tireless mining automaton, and the woodcutting Rainpunk Shredder.
• Take on 3 new Modifiers that challenge you to settle in confined space, flourish without geysers, and strategically discard Cornerstones.
• Unlock 3 new Legendary Cornerstones, 16 new Deeds, 6 new Decorations, and new Smoldering City Upgrades.
• Listen to 27 new music tracks, each tailored to bring the new biomes to life.
• And more!

An update 1.8 is also planned; players do not have to purchase The Nightwatchers DLC to receive the update. 

Here are the full update notes, as according to the Steam posting: 

• Commons – an Ancient Hearth upgrade that lets villagers fulfill service needs at the Hearth.
• New Prestige mechanics – spend Ancient Tablets and Wildfire Essence to unlock extra blueprint and Cornerstone slots.
• Prioritization of Glade Event rewards.
• New comfort specialization for Foxes.
• And much more!
