Emperor's Challenge DLC and base game Transylvania Patch!   8)  $7.49

Quote
This expansion pack for Renowned Explorers takes you all the way to the Far East. It’s packed with new content and also provides an entirely new way to play the game! The main features are:

Four new characters: Suh Min-Jeong, Hojo Fumiaki, Wang Yu and Phailin Boonyasak. All with their own unique abilities and personalities.
An entirely new expedition called the Anagogic Archipelago, in which you travel across a set of scattered Indonesian islands.
The Emperor’s Challenge: a new game mode in which you’re given many crazy challenges and try to beat Rivaleux to the punch in completing them.

New Characters
Four explorers join the already colorful cast of characters and they each bring their own refreshing brand of personality, skills, and perks to the table.

The Korean diplomat’s daughter Suh Min-Jeong is an achieved scientist and that at the age of 12! She does however still throw the occasional tantrum.
Then there’s Phailin Boonyasak, a Thai exotic dancer with a smooth talk, a sneaky walk and some serious skills with a knife!
Hojo Fumiaki is a stern scout from Kyoto with a bit of an anger management problem. He found a way to channel his anger through obsessive cleaning, though.
And last but not least: Chinese fighter Wang Yu, who has an obvious preference for fireworks and a very dark secret. His personality is also quite explosive!

New Expedition - The Anagogic Archipelago
In this Rank 4 expedition, called "the Anagogic Archipelago" you travel to an Indonesian set of islands to find out what has happened with Bobo the Misadventurous, who has mysteriously gone missing. While exploring this tropical new locale, you can travel by boat for the first time in Renowned Explorers, you might encounter some angry hornbill birds and there are rumors of a booming new religion that’s on the rise on the islands.

New Game Mode - The Emperor’s Challenge
Instead of aiming for collecting as much renown as possible, in this expansion, you can also choose to play the game in a new mode called “The Emperor’s Challenge". In this mode, emperor Guāngxù of China challenges you and your rival Rivaleux to complete a wide variety of objectives for him. In return, he’ll reward you with just as varied a set of porcelain awards. The explorer who claims the most rewards from the emperor by the end of the game, either you or Rivaleux, wins!

During the 80 hours after release of The Emperor's Challenge DLC hundreds of players cooperated in the 'Around the World in 80 Hours' community content challenge. In their devoted effort they collected 2911 treasures across all expeditions and unlocked the Bronze, Silver and Gold tier rewards of the challenge. Part of the deal was that each tier would force Abbey Games to create free extra content. A deal is a deal, so today's patch introduces the following changes:

Secret Shop with Epic Items (Bronze Tier reward)

By writing enough papers in the Engineering research tree you can unlock a new Secret Shop that contains a special new category of items. Discover new crew builds with these powerful epic items!

New stories in the Mali Mystery and the Hungarian Fort (Silver Tier reward)

Two 2-star expeditions were enriched with some new stories. Travel to The Hungarian Fort and The Mali Mystery to discover some new things...

Stockholm Split - a new Entourage Shop (Gold Tier reward)

It got so busy in Stockholm that many of the Entourage Specialists decided to travel south and set up their own place in Madrid. You now have many more extra entourage options after the first expedition.

Don't forget that The Emperor's Challenge DLC is out since May 10th, which was accompanied with a free content addition to Transylvania.

Happy adventuring,

~ the monks from Abbey Games
