But far moreso, the new GOLD edition and upgrade DLC for existing players: 

Quote
Overview:

Since its first demo was released in the Fall of 2012, The Pit has become an indie hit with its blend of Roguelike action and sci-fi depth! Players were challenged to survive 30 floors of The Pit using one of three characters – the Marine, the Engineer, and the Scout – then in The Pit: MindGames players were given two new characters – the Psion and the alien Tarka Ranger – and ten more floors to survive through, as well as a wealth of new items, recipes, weapons, and nasty creatures to fight!

To celebrate the success of the series, we’re releasing this Gold edition, which not only gives you the game, the expansion, and all the free content we added along the way, but we’re adding three new playable characters – The Hiver Warrior, the Liir Seeker, and the Morrigi Striker! Now you can test yourself against The Pit using all the major races from the Sword of the Stars universe!

What's cool about it:

    -Three new Character classes, each from a different previously unplayable alien race.
    -Over 65 new items.
    -Over 35 new monsters.
    -Over 50 new messages which means lots of all new hidden recipes.
    -30 new weapons, including new alien weapons.
    -2 new biome levels - Snow and Desert.
    -2 new play modes; Quick, which reduces the number of rooms per floor and Fast, which skips ever second floor!
    -Controller support (this was put in during MindGames, but bears repeating).
    -One secret unlockable character.

The GoG page though it is becoming available in all places as per the original and Mindgames Expansion:

The Juggernaut $1.99

Quote
In a simultaneous release, Kerberos Productions has unveiled new DLC for their two most recent games, Sword of the Stars: The Pit and Sword of the Stars: Ground Pounders. As both feature the alien Tarka race it was only natural to name this Tark Week!

The Pit: Juggernaut introduces Pit fans to a new playable character, the Tarka mercenary, Tor. The Juggernaut DLC adds new weapons and weapon variants, new items, new monsters, and over 50 new craft recipes, including ammo conversion recipes! Found lots of ammo, but for the wrong gun? There’s a recipe for that. The addition of Tor brings the number of player characters in the series to 11!

“After all the other characters we tossed into The Pit”, Said producer Christopher Stewart. “Fans were keen to play as a Tarkas changed male, one of the largest and most powerful characters in the SotSverse, and our loremaster Arinn Dembo was more than happy to oblige.”

Get the The Pit: Juggernaut here!

Note: The Juggernaut DLC requires The Pit: Gold to play. It does not require The Pilgrim DLC.

Mac and Linux depots builds will be available Friday, September 26th.

---

Filling out the alien character types found in the Sword of the Stars universe comes The Pit: Juggernaut - take control of a massive, changed Tarka male,Tor Makari, a clanless mercenary, born on the Tarka Freehold of Kor Daia. Summoned to Arbuda by the promise of a huge reward, he is here to rescue a kidnapped Human from a high-security alien facility and pull down the biggest bounty of his career. As a changed male, Tor is big, bad, and do not let his lumbering manner fool you - he is no dummy. He is a force to be reckoned with, nigh unstoppable. He is a... JUGGERNAUT!

Features
New playable character, the Tarka male, Tor!
New recipes, including ammo conversion recipes!
