NEW YORK – December 3, 2012 – The time has come to again claim your place in the galaxy. Whether you are human, a sentient insect or a space dolphin, Keberos Productions has given you the tools to research, expand and then dominate your own corner of the universe. Now, in an expanded and updated version of Sword of the Stars II, new options and an entirely new faction are available for you to experiment with.

After a year of updates and steady improvement, Paradox Interactive and Kerberos Productions bring you the Sword of the Stars II: Enhanced Edition, including all previously released DLC as well as new content and improvements. It is now available on major digital distribution channels for $19.99.

And, as a sign of gratitude to all fans that have stuck with the game to this point, existing Sword of the Stars II owners to receive End of Flesh for free on release. Paradox and Kerberos would like to thank their audience for their patience and support as they worked hard on getting Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter into its current condition.
