Galaxy on Fire 2 [$9.99 / HD / Lite] is receiving its second add-on in Q2 of 2012, the studio behind the outer space adventure game announced earlier today on its blog. The new stuff sounds cool, too. The add-on, a 10 plus hour adventure dubbed “Supernova," will incorporate new mission types, new stories, better visuals, and even some fun callbacks to the series’ more memorable characters, like Khador.

Supernova takes place immediately after events in the last expansion, Valkryie. Here’s a blurb that explains what’s going on in Supernova specifically:

“After the unravelling of the Valkyrie conspiracy, daily routine has returned to the Deep Science space station. Carla dreams of a quiet and idyllic life with her sweetheart Keith, but the restless space war hero is not ready to settle yet.

Hence the desperate plea for help of an old friend comes right in time: A gigantic supernova, which seems to be of unnatural origin, threatens to destroy the whole Mido sector and its inhabitants."

Political strain, and what happens when things get real, seems to be what this expansion’s content hinges on. We’re hopeful that we’ll see Game of Thrones levels of paranoia and betrayal. We’d be alright if Fishlabs passed on any, uh, delicate brother-sister relationships, though.
