Starlink Is Getting Lots Of New Content At The End Of April

Enoch Starnes

On April 30th, two new content packs will be available: one free and one paid. The free expansion, Crimson Moon, adds vehicle racing and wave-based coliseum battles, as well as new Outlaws to hunt down, a quest revolving around the Celestial Anvil, and brand new paint jobs for your vehicles. The new trailer shows all this content in action.

Physical Toys Are Done for Starlink: Battle for Atlas

As Marc covered in our Co-Op Review for the game, you can still use all the digital content to assemble the ships you want to use. While you can play with the physical ships outside of the title, and even bring your own custom creation to a friend's house and use it there, the physical versions don't get you much else. It's not too surprising that things ended up here. Even if the game didn't have the same paywalls found in other titles (where content was locked behind having certain toys), folks got pretty burnt out on all of those plastic doodads lying about the place. It's worth noting that while the physical ships may be ending, content itself will not. As Ubisoft further states in the post, "we are currently hard at work on our biggest update to the game so far and are pleased to tell all of you that there will be new digital ships, pilots and weapons to collect." This is likely separate from the Switch only Star Fox content that will be dropping sometime soon.

[E3 2018] - Pilot An Arwing and Play As Fox McCloud In Starlink

We weren't sure if the title would have any co-op when it was first announced during E3 2017. Fortunately, it appears Ubisoft has clarified the matter in the FAQ page on the official website. The title features two player drop-in/drop-out couch co-op throughout the game. Both players can pilot and play the same starship (player one scans it into the game, and the second player can choose to control it), or the second player can hook up their own Starlink dock to a controller and scan in their own ship. It's worth noting that you don't have to buy any physical ships (outside of the one that comes with the requisite Starter Pack) as Ubisoft will be offering a variety of ships to purchase digitally.
