Amplitude Studios has revealed that Disharmony is now in the final stages of development which is the first official expansion for Endless Space. The game has seen four free add-ons since 2013 and the Disharmony expansion can be purchased for $9.99 on June 26th on Steam as a DLC. The retail version is set to release on June 28th and will include a key-only box with 16 page artbook.
Upon the Disharmony expansion pack launch, Amplitude plans to unlock the ‘Sheredyn Faction’ and the ‘Endless Hero’ from the Emperor Edition for all players, as well as the addition of “Automaton ship models” as a gift to the community for being so awesome.

Background story for “Endless Space: Disharmony” expansion pack:
The Harmony had been moving since the birth of the universe, passing through the galaxies, seeking The Core. Their migration was deliberate, calm, inevitable. Dust was their downfall. In the galaxy of the Endless they were ensnared; this strange technological creation that affected particles, fields and waves broke the single movement of the Harmony into a cacophony of individual elements. In this galaxy, the Harmony have fallen from grace and turned into gravity-enchained individuals.
The Harmony saw Dust, then, as a menace or a plague, and set out to rid the universe of its effects. But for the Harmony, creatures of mineral, there is no difference between an "inhabited" or "uninhabited" planet -- they are only "infected" or "clean." To the rest of the galaxy the arrival of the Harmony was a minor apocalypse. They attacked in small ships, targeting Dust-infected infrastructures and populations. Other peoples responded in kind, creating Fighter and Bomber craft to counter the Harmony's unusual tactics, bringing the war to their enemy. Planetary bombardment and invasion will take frightening new turns; new heroes will rise up to counter the threats. The Era of Disharmony is coming!
