Shadow Empire: Republica DLC is coming soon

socials
Published on April 28, 2025

It’s official! Two years after the release of the Oceania DLC, a new chapter is coming to the award-winning 4X wargame Shadow Empire.

Republica DLC: A New Political Era in Shadow Empire

The Republica DLC expands Shadow Empire’s political systems, adding new layers of realism, challenge, and replayability. Manage societal decay, pass laws, confront a paranoid computer, and navigate evolving forms of government.

A major addition is Virtus, a system that represents the collective will of society. Under its influence, democracies can decay into dysfunctional states, meritocracies into oligarchies, and autocracies into tyrannies. Players must confront this instability with careful strategy, political maneuvering, or even radical actions like revolutions or adopting extreme governments—such as aristocracy or fanatical autocracy.

The DLC also introduces political bodies that vote on laws, creating unpredictable shifts in power. While laws can offer powerful benefits, they also come at a cost, forcing players to either adapt or resort to authoritarian control.

Want to learn more? Wishlist the DLC now and stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks.

To celebrate the announcement, the Complete Bundle is now available at an exciting 25% weekly discount, instead of the usual 10%.
