About
Dangerous Horizons takes the grueling PvE survival of Icarus to a massive new scale with the introduction of Elysium, a volatile 8x8km map warped by exotic radiation. Face off against the fanatic Eris Inquisition, uncover the dark terraforming secrets of Group 15, and push human engineering to its limits with advanced Tier 5 technology. Acting more like a full sequel than standard DLC, this expansion demands ultimate cooperation and strategy to conquer its extreme mutations and hazards.
Story
Following the events of New Frontiers, prospectors align with Mo to investigate the mysterious Eden settlement. Players will uncover the devastating truth behind Group 15's terraforming catastrophe and battle a fanatical new faction known as The Eris Inquisition across six chained narrative missions.
Gameplay
Brave extreme radioactive and geothermal biomes alongside up to eight friends in intense PvE survival. Master the new Tier 5 tech tree to drill for oil, process volatile Uranium, and tame lethal Raptor mounts to traverse the hostile, mutated landscapes of Elysium.
