The latest upgrade to *Stellar Mercenaries* brings the action to the solar system's largest planet with the new Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. This vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter now features more worlds, enemies, and missions than ever before. If you haven't experienced *Stellar Mercenaries* yet, it's your chance to take on procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and rise to become the most feared mercenary in the solar system.

What's New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?

The Jupiter Expansion transforms Jupiter itself and its famous moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into new battlegrounds, each with unique challenges. Ganymede presents a barren wasteland, Io is covered in volcanic debris, Europa is frozen and treacherous, while Jupiter is engulfed in storms. The expansion introduces two new factions: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to control the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic alliance of outlaws.

Players can dive into 50 new missions with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort, and train defense missions. The update also adds six new ships to the fleet: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. The arsenal expands with new weapons such as the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

New Hazards, Shields, and More

The expansion introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, enhancing player defense. New hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the Pacifier add to the challenge. Some enemy mercenaries have leveled up, introducing new classes like Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk.

To enrich the experience further, the expansion includes 14 new music tracks and a new side mission system. Don't miss out on this thrilling update—check out *Stellar Mercenaries* on the Google Play Store and dive into the expanded universe!
