Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Arcen Games have announced that the first DLC for the strategy RPG AI War 2, titled "Bonds," was released on October 13, adding three new endings and multiple branching storylines. In the base game, players take on the role of a self-aware AI, establishing a secret base in a sci-fi city and navigating relations with various factions.
"Bonds" focuses the story on belonging and the player's choice of which communities to build relationships with. New storylines include granting sentience to new creatures, mediating relations between human religious factions, and expanding underground criminal empires through family ties.
The DLC adds hours of missions and storylines spanning different stages of the game, along with exclusive buildings, unlockable equipment, and new enemies. Players can transform the city into a forest, get caught up in gang wars, or build giant spider mechs; these paths are linked to the evolving relationships with the city's communities.
The "Bonds" DLC for AI War 2 is now available on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
