WildStar’s iconic visual style and “Momentum Mechanics” immerse players in a deep world stacked with content, challenges and rewards that respond to the play style choices of individual players.  Depending on a combination of faction, race, class and path, WildStar will present gamers with unending surprises, mini-quests and challenges, ensuring that their experiences are fun and fresh.

WildStar takes place on the planet Nexus, a mysterious world vacated by the ancient Elden but left rich with treasures and technologies to discover and acquire.

Chad Moore, creative director for Wildstar, has just posted a letter to players detailing the focus and content of the game’s upcoming update. Invasion: Nexus brings tons of new, community-feedback based content to the game. Contracts give players who are short on time a new way to earn awesome gear, while aesthetic-related improvements like the Holo-Wardrobe and brand-new vanity pets let players cruise Nexus in style. Also incoming is a swath of new content, like a 20-player raid, a new adventure and expanded PvP options!

Community feedback continues to be our guide to improving WildStar, and we think that this new update really shows it. INVASION: Nexus improves and expands what players love about WildStar -blasting off to new frontiers on the galaxy's most legendary planet. There you'll come face-to-face with a deadly gallery of fun and frightening rogues in an update that has something for just about everyone, whether you’re into getting sweet loot from Challenges and Quests, blazing your own path in Adventures, or throwing yourself headlong into Raids. This update also offers access to new gameplay systems, new ways to compete in PvP, and new ways to make your character look even more freakin' awesome.

Contractors Needed!

Contracts are a whole new system of short, single-objective jobs for when you need your WildStar fix but don’t have a ton of time to play. Contracts come in three difficulty levels and allow you to make steady progress towards superb and better-quality gear, so that even short, controlled bursts of WildStar action can get you big rewards.

The Hero with a Thousand Outfits

WildStar lets you make your mark on Nexus in style - and now you'll be able to switch up that style anywhere with the new Holo-Wardrobe feature, which enables you to change your costumes anywhere you like. No need to seek out the Protostar Appearance Modificator just to change your hat anymore!

Courageous Companions!

As all the most stylish Cassians know, nothing accessorizes a new look like a brand-new vanity pet! Don't want to share your adventures with others? Then share them with your own non-combatant pal.

Terror of the Techno-Phage!

Welcome to the new 20-person raid known as Initialization Core Y-83 - a mysterious Eldan facility responsible for a techno-phage virus that could turn every AI on Nexus into a crazed techno-zombie. And that means the Freebots are in big trouble! Give everyone's favorite renegade mechanicals some wholesome organic assistance to deal with the techno-phage on its home turf.

Ascendancy Rising!

Bay of Betrayal is an all-new Adventure set in an alternate version of the Levian Bay zone, where players are set on a path to infiltrate the Ascendancy and deal with its leader, Calidor Antevian. Calidor has recently discovered technopaths, individuals with a talent for controlling Eldan technology, and seeks to identify and recruit the best of them into the Ascendancy's elite.

Step into the Sim-Core and take on the role of a technopath candidate for the Ascendancy. Enter a high-stakes competition against other candidates with technopathic abilities, taking on deadly foes and the insidious challenges to become the first to crack an Eldan vault. Victory will bring you one step closer to Brother Calidor’s inner circle, and seriously big rewards.

Combat Unlimited!

Dueling is all well and good, but have you ever wanted to play real PvP against your friends who are all playing characters in the same faction? Now you can! Same-faction PvP allows teams of Exiles to fight Exiles (and Dominion to tangle with Dominion) - rather than defaulting to Dominion vs. Exile.

The Battle of Star-Comm Basin

Max-level heroes from either faction can visit Star-Comm Station in Dominion-controlled Levian Bay, where things have changed a bit since the earlier stages of the game. The station is now in a state of lockdown, the dish has retreated into a silo underground and an automatic distress call has attracted some of the deadliest enemies on Nexus to battle it out for control. The Caretaker needs your help to bring order to the area and secure Star-Comm Basin before one of the Eldan's deadliest lost secrets brings doom to every life form on the planet.

Let the Invasion Commence!

These are just a few examples of some of the great things you can look forward to in INVASION: Nexus. In the weeks ahead, we’ll be getting into the nitty-gritty of these features and seeing exactly what makes them tick. But, If you don’t have the patience for all that, you can hop on the Player Test Realm right now, play around with the new content, take out some bad guys, and let us know what you think. We're hoping you like what you see.
