OGame Celebrates 20th Anniversary and Releases Lifeforms Expansion

Gameforge — publisher and developer of popular games such as AION, NosTale, Metin2, Trigon: Space Story, and Swords of Legends Online — is pleased to announce the massive Lifeforms expansion has made its way to their long-running space strategy MMO, OGame. Live as of today, the Lifeforms expansion will bring alien species into the world of OGame, and open up countless new strategies for players to explore with new buildings, technology, and actions specific to each race.

“With OGame turning 20 this year, the team and I are preparing some major updates for the game starting with the release of the Lifeforms expansion today, completely free. We are proud to finally be able to fulfill a long-standing community wish, and soon, the game will also be available on mobile devices so that players can control their fleets anytime, anywhere.” said the game’s Lead Product Manager, Martin Liedtke.

OGame Celebrates 20th Anniversary and Releases Lifeforms Expansion

Rediscover OGame with the game-changing Lifeforms update, the biggest content expansion in nearly 10 years! Designed as a natural extension to the main game that boosts the core experience, Lifeforms will introduce four species — Humans, Rock’tal, Mechas, and Kaelesh — into the universe, each with their own unique buildings, technologies, and abilities that players can discover and explore. Players will build a diverse civilization, manage food and resource production, research technologies, and unlock countless new strategies that will help them on their path to conquering the cosmos.

Other additions in the Lifeforms expansion include:

  • 48 New Buildings — 12 per Lifeform: Players will start with the ability to build a small selection of buildings, but as new species are discovered and researched, more will become available.
  • 72 New Species Technologies — 18 per Lifeform: As players progress through the new content, they will unlock the lifeform-specific tech trees, which can be filled out to further combat, exploration, production abilities, and more, and influenced to branch in any number of ways based on the different species they discover.
  • Two New Resources: The new resources—lifeforms and food—must be balanced carefully. Players must grow lifeforms to unlock species-specific technologies on their planet, but to allow the lifeforms on their planets to thrive, players need to manage food production. If lifeforms consume too much food, too quickly, they will eventually starve and begin to die out. Unlike food, lifeforms cannot be transported or stolen but can be destroyed when a planet is successfully attacked.

Join the Mobile Beta:

Gameforge is inviting players to participate in a closed beta test for popular space strategy MMO OGame’s upcoming mobile app, which launches later this year for Android and iOS devices. You will get a chance to try out the most important game mechanics such as research, development, and defense on the go! The development team aims to deliver a final version that players will love, so during the beta, all participants are welcome to share their impressions and observations.
