Having launched Ancient Frontier last year, Fair Weather Studios has now announced Ancient Frontier: Steel Shadows, a completely standalone expansion for their turn-based sci-fi strategy RPG, where you'll be commanding a group of space pirates and outlaws over the course of 20+ story missions and 50+ procedurally generated ones. The expansion's current release window is this summer, so if you're interested in a bit of roleplaying space piracy, you probably won't have to wait too long. Here's the official description:
A new chapter in the world of Ancient Frontier!
Steel Shadows is a standalone RPG set in the epic universe of Ancient Frontier. You do NOT need to own or have played Ancient Frontier to enjoy this content. Take command of a rag tag band of pirates and outlaws as you fight your way across the Frontier for treasure and glory. Delve into our latest turn based tactical RPG.
You play as Rogan Harker, a recently freed convict. He travels to the Frontier to find old friends and start a new life. But the overpowering Federation still controls most of the Frontier, and the new and budding Alliance is no fan of outlaws. Hated and feared, the pirate life is one of constant danger. Friends and allies are hard to find and harder still to keep. Beset on all sides can Rogan find fame and fortune with his fledgling pirate fleet?
