New "Inception" DLC for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation is Now Available

Choose the PHC or the Substrate for two completely different experiences in the same scenario

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Inception DLC features a new type of split scenario, new maps, and more!
Choose your story in the first split-faction scenario in Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation

Get it on Steam | Get it at Stardock
 A mysterious entity known as Nihilon has returned to wreak havoc on the planet Oneiros and has seized control of some of the Substrate consciousnesses residing there. As the Substrate, you must rescue your corrupted brethren and find out what Nihilon has done - as the PHC, your only concern is neutralizing both threats entirely. Which battle will you fight?
 
The Inception DLC also features four brand new maps perfect for facing down hordes
of computer adversaries or engaging online in some brawls with friends. Details on the maps below:
  • Oneiros: Wage war with up to 7 players on this unusual planet. With a strong central starting position, resource-rich but vulnerable north and south positions, and four isolated corner starts, this map is great for a tight free-for-all match.
  • Bayern: This symmetrical Terran map supports up to 3 players. Each starting location is vulnerable from one direction and the massive metal deposits in the middle of the map are enough to lure even your toughest turtler out of isolation.
  • Brasil: This large 10 player ice map challenges you to defend your starting area while you try to make your way to the astoundingly rich central valley without falling victim to your opponent's attacks.
  • Polska: Up to 5 players can brawl on this desert map with strategically critical hills that command the passages between regions.

The Inception DLC is available through Stardock or on Steam for just $2.99.

In one of the other blog posts you guys said "Everyone who bought the upgrade from Ashes to Escalation will get a season pass to the DLC we're adding to Escalation".  Does that start with this DLC or is that for later DLC?  I just noticed it was not added to my steam account since I purchased Escalation at launch.  Any clarification about how the "season pass" will work would be great.

I'm not sure how the process works exactly, but this is counted in the "Season pass." People who bought Escalation should be getting Inception out to them.

That's what I thought but wanted to double check why it didn't show up in my steam account.  My guess is that it's going to take time for them to update everyone who is valid for a "season pass".   I kind of hope they send out an automated email letting us know when its up.

I believe there was an issue with Steam that we were looking into.

It's showing up for me, maybe it's been fixed?

I ended up contacting someone on the steam forums and a dev fixed it for me.  Thanks again.

hi,

I have the same problem, I bought Escalation and the original game and this new DLC is not showing up in Steam.

So what have you done exactly, Arisal?

Cheers

I am a bit disappointed. I sent a support request yesterday (nearly 24h ago) and still didn't get a response, just the auto response   : (
