Take control of an Artificial Consciousness named AMI, whose prime directive is anything but simple: terraform Mars into a lush, verdant paradise and prepare it for human colonization. But you aren’t the first to attempt this mission, and as you face the hardships before you, in time you may uncover the truth of their fate.

Explore a sprawling map based on real geographical data from NASA, harvest valuable resources from the surface, and experiment with various colonizing strategies as you transform a dead world into a new home for life in our solar system. City building has never been this astronomical!

Combining hard science fiction and base building, Per Aspera will challenge players on a scale never before seen in the genre, with an all-star cast of voice actors such as Troy Baker, Phil LaMarr and more.

With the nearest help being 140 million miles away, what risks are you willing to take to achieve the mission?

Following their first DLC, Green Mars, that introduced new terraforming options for the barren surface of Mars, the developers at Tlön Industries and Raw Fury are excited to announce the latest and biggest piece of content so far for their Mars-colonization title, Per Aspera.

Dubbed Blue Mars, this DLC will focus on the ocean elements of this planetary terraforming simulation.

As shown in the latest trailer, players will now have more ways to engage with the oceanic features on the planet through the construction of ports, new reach outposts, additional buildings, and more. 

There is a lot to look forward to with the Blue Mars DLC – many new features will be introduced to add to the overall terraforming features of Per Aspera. These new features include: 

• A stack of new aquatic buildings, including ports, shipyards, and fisheries 
• New research outposts for underwater special sites 
• Improved water cycle 
• Ships for water-based transportation 

Blue Mars will also be compatible with the latest co-op update so that players will be able to enjoy these new features together as they fully terraform the Red Planet. Blue Mars is due to launch on May 2 for Steam and GOG at $5.99USD/€5.99/¥620.
