Get ready for new missions, now chained together as assignments, throwing you right into the action. The operations base, the 'space rig', becomes a strategic hub where you can stop by the Abyss bar to study the details of new missions and gear up. But hey, don't think it'll be a walk in the park! New dangers emerge in the form of anomalies and warnings that will make tasks increasingly complicated. The good news is that your dwarf miners also evolve, gaining access to the best gear and upgrades. This expansion introduces two brand-new mission types: the Drilldozer escort, where you need to protect this giant machine as it drills its way, and the Liquid Morkite extraction, a high-risk, high-reward task. With a modular board and the need to plan every step, the cooperative experience becomes even more intense. The adaptation of the video game theme is quite faithful, bringing the atmosphere of space exploration and combat against alien creatures that fans love. It's the kind of game that requires communication and team strategy to overcome challenges and return home with the loot (and your skin) intact. If you're already a fan of the base game, this expansion is a must-have for those seeking more content and challenges. ## FAQ ### Do I need the base Deep Rock Galactic game to play this expansion?
