ANNOUNCING: New "Interdimensional" DLC for Offworld Trading Company!
Stardock and Mohawk Games Announce New Interdimensional DLC for Offworld Trading Company
Stardock and Mohawk Games announced a new DLC, called Interdimensional, for their critically acclaimed real-time strategy game, Offworld Trading Company, today.
Offworld Trading Company is an economic strategy game by Soren Johnson, lead designer for Civilization IV. Players are trying to build a corporation on Mars, but the competition is fierce - others are standing in the way of success, and victory is hard-earned through mastering and manipulating the Martian stock market.
The Interdimensional DLC explores an alternate reality by combining all of the challenges players have faced on Jupiter’s moons Io and Europa, as well as on Mars’ moon, Ceres. Players will vy for economic dominance on maps with mixed terrain where all the rules of different worlds are in play at once.
A variety of terrain types and custom maps adds new challenges for any aspiring offworld traders. The frozen tundra of Europa could exist right beside the hot volcanic surface of Io on these worlds, making careful decisions a necessity of survival. Players will need to think ahead about building placement, since structures that were previously only available on one world can now all appear on the same map together.
Players will have the opportunity to both explore pre-made custom maps as well as create and share their own maps via the Steam Workshop. Offworld Trading Company’s other DLC and expansions are not required to play Interdimensional.
“We wanted to give players a challenge,” said lead designer Soren Johnson. “I think that Interdimensional provides a unique experience for both seasoned veterans and newcomers. We’re excited to see what kinds of maps people create, too.”

Don't forget to check out the new expansion, The Europa Wager, as well!
Travel to the smallest of Jupiter's Galilean moons and carve out a name for yourself against your competition! Head to the frozen moon of Europa, where numerous cracks on the moon's surface and multiple methane geysers will make building and sustaining structures a whole new challenge. Made of silicate rock and possessing a water-ice crust, Europa's atmosphere is thin but comprised mostly of oxygen, which makes it the next natural step for space-bound entrepreneurs.
New Location: Europa
Explore the smallest of Jupiter's Galilean moons where numerous cracks in the surface and methane geysers make building and sustaining structures more than a little difficult.
New Resources and Structures
Methane geysers are abundant on Europa, and the new Methane Extractor will allow you to harness the gas' energy and transform it into power. Additionally, the new Gas and Hydrothermal Plants work hard to process resources in order to make you a profit. The Hydrothermal Plant works similarly to the Geothermal Plant, but produces more power and a small amount of water. Meanwhile, the Gas Plant converts fuel into power, which is particularly helpful when you find yourself with an abundance.
New Scenarios
Everyone said you're crazy and that it can't be done, yet here you are: Europa. Fight through the frozen elements and help brave colonists found their colony and establish important resource lines. Survive the exceptionally long days and the freezing cold nights, make critical decisions on what to build and where, and mind the cracked and frozen landscape - in order to make sure your structures don't come tumbling down, extra time will need to be taken to build in those areas. Overcome the challenges of Europa and prove to everyone that money talks: you made it on Mars, and you can make it here, too.
