Fellow Traveller and developer Jump Over the Age have announced that the second expansion for Citizen Sleeper, called The Refuge, will arrive on all platforms on October 27th.

Following the events in the first DLC update, Episode: FLUX, this new episode expands upon the story of the refugee flotilla, and the wider narrative of the Helion System, the star system in which the Eye orbits.

In Episode: FLUX, the first ships from a refugee flotilla arrived at Erlin’s Eye in response to pressures in the Helion system. Now, in Episode: REFUGE, a strange event sends ripples through the communities of the Eye. Players will have to enter the flotilla to understand this new threat and help the refugees stabilize their community.

Episode: REFUGE also introduces Sol, captain of the Pilgrim Seed, the biggest ship in the refugee flotilla. Hailing from Ember’s Hearth, the largest moon of the gas giant Ember, he is a quiet pragmatist forced into the position of political leader.

As with the first update, this one will be free to all owners of the game, meaning Game Pass owners are included within that grouping. This is the last major update for the year, but the roadmap is showing that plenty more is coming in 2023.
