Rimworld Odyssey DLC features, release date, and more
The Odyssey DLC is set to be the next major Rimworld expansion and will provide fans with exciting new content spread across the vast, open Space. Ludeon Studios has already announced important details surrounding the upcoming launch, which includes all the major features. Compared to previous content drops, Odyssey allows you to travel between planets and build your Gravship. Let's check out what to expect from the upcoming DLC and why it could be special for Rimworld beginners and veterans. Table of contents All major Rimworld Odyssey DLC features Rimworld Odyssey DLC weapons and animals Rimworld Odyssey DLC release date All major Rimworld Odyssey DLC features The Odyssey DLC will allow you to travel across planets on your gravship. You can land on the planets, scavenge for loot, unearth treasures, and more. The beginning will be small, with just a few rooms and thrusters, while fuel will be rare. Your ultimate objective is to make the ship your new home and build new areas like labs, workshops, hospitals, and more for your settlers.

New biomes include Glowforest, Scarlands, Grasslands, Glacia Plains, and Lava Fields. Landmarks System: Thanks to the landmarks system, no two biomes will be the same. Every biome will have different geographical features and rich and rare resources. Explore Space: With the launch of the Odyssey DLC, you'll no longer be limited to exploring one planet. You can go to space and land on wrecked orbital platforms, jump across satellites, and mine asteroids. However, you won't be alone, as other scavengers will try to outwit and kill your settlers. Double that, with no oxygen and sub-zero temperatures, Space won't be the easiest place to survive. The new DLC will also offer new weapons, wildlife, and more (explained in the following section). Rimworld Odyssey DLC weapons and animals The new DLC will have more weapons and animals (thankfully, I can remove the 100+ mods I have for these two). Over 40 new animals will be part of the journey, all available to be tamed, trained, traded, or eaten. The stock of animals will be limited initially, but they will expand as you grow your gravship and explore more planets. Screenshot via Ludeon You can also teach new skills to the animals and use them to complete various goals. They can either protect your settlers or unearth treasures and resources on their own. You can also bring prehistoric creatures like the Mastodon on your journey (so cool!). Rimworld also brings fishing to the party, as you'll find different fish in the various biomes. You can always catch and turn them into nutritious foods to survive the harsh space. The Odyssey DLC will introduce the hive mind—an endless line of mechanoids trying to wipe out every human alive. But you're not alone in this fight, as the expansion also offers new weapons like the sawed-off shotgun that can clear a wave in seconds. Your settlers can also equip new gear like Hunter drones to hunt and paralyze enemies. Rimworld Odyssey DLC release date Based on the developer notes, an exact release date for the Odyssey DLC is yet to be announced, but I expect it to go live in July. For the first time, we can travel in space and jump between planets. The expansion excites me, and I am already looking forward to the new mods coming as part of the upcoming expansion.
