by Lily May 23,2025

Stellar Mercenaries has just rolled out its most expansive update yet with The Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content with a thrilling array of new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and gear. This monumental update introduces the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, two formidable factions locked in a fierce battle for supremacy around Jupiter and its moons.

Dive into over 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, where you'll tackle diverse objectives like escort operations, piracy, train defense, and hyperspace hunts. The expansion also introduces six new ships, each designed with unique abilities and configurations to enhance your fleet's versatility. From the aggressive Raider to the nimble Goblin, the robust Mako, the versatile Boxer, the swift Lightening, and the formidable Skybreaker, there's a ship for every combat scenario.

Arm yourself with six new weapons to dominate the battlefield. Choose from the devastating Hyper Velocity Mortar, the precise Plasma Seeker, the disruptive EMP Rockets, the powerful Mauler Cannon, the cutting-edge Electron Beam, and the annihilating Neutron Beam. Defensive options have been bolstered with Tier 4 shields and armors, while new special abilities and mods such as Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate offer fresh strategic layers to your gameplay.

ytEnemy encounters have been ramped up with the introduction of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, challenging foes that adapt and grow with your progress. The update also adds dynamic environmental hazards, including asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the ominous Pacifier, a new threat lurking in the depths of space.

For those craving more, a new side mission system keeps the action fresh and unpredictable, while 14 new music tracks immerse you deeper into the sci-fi universe. Plus, the Hangar Manager now offers expanded inventory and loadout slots, making it easier to manage your arsenal.
