Expansion for Microsoft's Civilization version introduces phases like Bronze Age downfall, Mongol invasion, and a mysterious realm named 'Spider World'
The upcoming expansion for strategy game Ara: History Untold, titled Untold Scenarios, is set to deliver a range of new historical and hypothetical challenges. Embracing the intrigue of the eastern Mediterranean's societal disintegration during the 12th century BC, this DLC introduces custom-built maps, unique nation configurations, and distinctive events that breathe fresh life into the turn-based strategy game.
Of the available information, the Bronze Age Collapse scenario is the most detailed. Opting to place the player in the sandals of Alexander the Great, players face off against historical figures like Nefertiti of Egypt and Persian King Xerxes while navigating the economic decline and offshore raids plaguing the era. It's worth noting that in reality, these historical figures lived somewhat later than the collapse, but are being used by developers Oxide Games due to existing faction leader assets.
Other named historical scenarios include Mongol Invasion, Europe at the Crossroads, and Clash of Hemispheres. While details are scarce for the former, Europe at the Crossroads finds players immersed in a pivotal moment of diplomacy, warfare, and cultural evolution. Clash of Hemispheres marks an epic collision of continents in competition and cooperation.
Hypothetical scenarios, or "what-if" challenges, round out the offerings from Untold Scenarios. Though specifics are not yet available, the Bronze Age Collapse scenario also hints at a "Spider World" scenario featuring giant sentient spiders.
expecting its June 18th release on Steam, the DLC will be priced at $10. Though critics have noted some deficiencies in the game's diplomacy sector, recent updates may have improved on those prior shortcomings, making the DLC an intriguing prospect for new and previous players alike.
First-person shooter and immersive simulation aficionado Rick Lane highly recommends Ara: History Untold, citing it as a captivating PC gaming experience. If this sounds appealing to you, keep an eye out for the upcoming Untold Scenarios DLC later this year.
