The wait is almost over! The first two of many Downloadable Content packs (DLC) are on their way to gamers in just a few days. Here's some info and new screenshots:

Grand Campaign '39

Germany launches its military invasion of Poland, igniting World War 2.  Take command of the  Blitzkrieg's spearhead as you battle your way to the heart of the Polish nation, the Capitol of Warsaw, and beyond.  This DLC features 14 all new scenarios, improved artificial intelligence scripting, new campaign features, unique objectives such as protecting vital units, destroying enemy supply trains, and securing vital bridges, and the capacity to save your core force file for use in future campaigns.

The Grand Campaign's are a series of expansions for Panzer Corps and require Panzer Corps. Each campaign can be started with the core force from the previous Grand Campaign, so you can continue Grand Campaign '40 with your core force that completed Grand Campaign '39. Alternatively players can start with a preset core force and play each campaign on its own, or jump in to the Grand Campaign at any year. This expansion starts your core from the very beginning of the war, allowing you maximum flexibility to choose and shape the forces that you will take through the next 6 years. The full Grand Campaign from 1939-1945 will have around 70 scenarios!

Grand Campaign '40  

The Maginot Line, shield of France and the battleship on land, was supposed to be impenetrable, but the Germans have a secret and daring plan aimed to topple their old enemy!  Import your experienced troops from the first campaign, or start with a pre-generated brand new core and lead your forces to victory.  This DLC features  14 all new scenarios, recreating historical battles such as the epic of Eben-Emael and the tank battles of Arras and Stonne, improved artificial intelligence scripting, new campaign features, unique objectives such as capturing a French General and forcing the Dunkirk pocket to surrender, and the capacity to save your core force for use in future campaigns!

Matrix Games and Code Force are pleased to release some additional screenshots and gameplay information for Distant Worlds - Legends. Currently in final testing and expected to release by November, Distant Worlds - Legends is the second expansion to the widely acclaimed space strategy game, Distant Worlds.

We'd also like to announce the winner for the Distant Worlds - Legends Space Creature Contest! Fan submissions rolled in, with many quality submissions resulting in a real challenge for the judges!  In the end, the winner was "Silvermist", a cloud of disassembling and self-replicating nanomachines, which will constitute a new mega-threat in the Legends expansion and become part of the Distant Worlds lore.  Credit for "Silvermist" and free copies of Distant Worlds, Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi and Distant Worlds: Legends go to Wadim Zasko.

Distant Worlds: Legends is the highly anticipated second expansion to the critically acclaimed 4X space strategy game Distant Worlds. Legends is a huge step forward which brings the Distant Worlds universe to life.  A new character system includes Leaders, Admirals, Generals, Governors, Ambassadors, Scientists and Agents, each with defined abilities and traits and opportunities to advance and grow over time.  Expanded gameplay for all existing races includes new race-specific events, technologies and victory conditions which create a completely different game depending on your choices.  An expanded tech tree also awaits, with dedicated carriers, cutting lasers, rail guns, new planetary facilities and wonders, and much more (including a new hidden faction)!

All of this together makes Distant Worlds: Legends an essential addition to the vast, living galaxy of Distant Worlds!
