DLC 4: “Corrupted Horizons”

DLC 4, out now, introduces the deadly new Acheron enemy and the Corruption effect, which lowers your soldiers’ will to fight. But a new allied unit can help counter this threat: the Mutoid, a human-Pandoran hybrid immune to Corruption. Mutoids’ abilities can be acquired from any class known to the player, letting them combine powers in new and exciting ways. But Mutoids cost Mutagens to produce, evolve with new abilities, and heal when wounded, adding an element of risk to their tactical advantages.

Phoenix Point: Year One Edition is available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, and Google Stadia. PC players can grab DLC 4: “Corrupted Horizons” today for $4.99 (DLC 4 will arrive on GOG.com in the near future).
