Surviving Mars: Below & Beyond Expansion Lets You Create "Rocket-Propelled Buildings"

It’s time to grab your space gear and suit up for another mission to the Red Planet. Paradox Interactive and Abstraction Games have announced a brand new expansion for their city building simulation game Surviving Mars. The expansion, Surviving Mars: Below & Beyond, will enhance the game’s colony-building by allowing for players to tunnel below Mars’ surface or travel far above for a whole new exploration experience.

Below & Beyond will let players colonize and mine resources that sit in lava tubes and caves below Mars’ surface. Or, if they don’t want to travel below the surface, the expansion also introduces the ability for players to mine exotic resources on asteroids that pass by Mars.

The key features that this expansion will bring to the game include:

Back to the Bases: Expanding the colony under the surface. Players can use existing structures, or underground-specific buildings to build a base for exploration. However, players should watch out for potential cave-ins that could spell disaster for their colony.

Mine Your Own Business: Players can go both below and above to mine new resources. Special rocket-propelled buildings can be constructed to mine resources like exotic minerals and Data Samples on passing asteroids. However, don’t spend too much time on these floating rocks as they can drift away with all your valuable resources.

Branching Paths: The Recon and Expansion research tree unlock additional buildings, vehicles, upgrades, and locales. They will also unlock asteroid mining and tunnel colonization.

This will be Surviving Mars’ first expansion since 2019, which saw the release of Surviving Mars: Green Planet. Green Planet was the second major expansion for the game and introduced terraforming to the Red Planet. The game’s first expansion, Space Race, introduced rival colonies competing to build the first colony on Mars.

Along with the new expansion, Surviving Mars is getting the Mars Lifestyle Radio Pack. This will include 16 original tracks from four different artists, offering you 70 whole minutes of chill tunes to cruise the Red Planet with. Fans can also preorder the Surviving Mars OST vinyl up until the release of the expansion, where they can listen to the same themes that played during NASA's Perseverance stream. Surviving Mars: Below & Beyond is set to launch on September 7 on Steam, GOG, Epic, Humble, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It will retail for $19.99.
