The Simulated Universe receives a major overhaul, surpassing previous updates like Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears. The third DLC, the Unknowable Domain, introduces a vast void connected to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts centered around the Scepter, a powerful external thinking unit. Players must collect and upgrade Scepters, creating powerful synergies to defeat the final boss.
