I watched the trailer and I have absolutely no idea what this expansion adds to the game.
Are there like any new gameplay mechanics?
- It's a new story all contained in one planet, with everything being handcrafted instead of procgen.
  On a side note, I can't remember the last time I played a DLC that added new mechanics
  EDIT: folks, it's nice that we're sharing games with DLCs that alter or add game mechanics, but let's not forget that I said "I can't remember the last time I played"
  
  Skyrim, crossbows. Mass Effect 2, hammerhead levels. Xcom, cyborg mecha super soldiers. Age of Mythology, the titans.
  
  Oh I thought it was supposed to be a big update like an expansion kind of thing, it was kinda hard to understand from the trailer the scale of this update.
  I guess a handcrafted world will definitely stand out, since most of the procedural content got repetitive so fast.
  
  Well it is an expansion pack, but nowadays I guess the distinction is kinda lost. I haven't gotten to start it yet since I'm battling terrible performance right now (a 3080 and 7800x3d are getting 40fps on low with DLSS performance on 2160p), I also haven't seen anything about the DLC, but I expect it to have some new ~~shouts~~ starborn powers, weapons/weapon types and some 20+ hours of content judging by the 40£ tag.
  
  I can’t think of a single DLC I've ever played in my entire life that didn’t add new mechanics
- Even more fast travel load screens!
- Wondering the same thing, honestly
