Maschinen-Mensch have released Robots of Lux, the latest DLC pack for their adventure roguelite, Curious Expedition 2.
Curious Expedition 2 – Robots of Lux is actually a crossover with the beloved SteamWorld universe, specifically SteamWorld Heist. Lux Labs’ latest experiment has opened a rift in space and time, dragging the robotic pirate Captain Piper Faraday and her motley crew into the world of Curious Expedition 2.
This expansion adds Piper Faraday as a new leader character, along with her crew as new recruitable characters. You can also play as The Naturalist, a new leader class that specializes in charming animals. There is also a new robot chameleon mount, a new location, and a variety of new items and pieces of equipment.
Curious Expedition 2 – Robots of Lux is available for $5.99.

Two worlds collide in Curious Expedition 2: Robots of Lux DLC!
The exploration roguelike of Curious Expedition and the robotic pirates from SteamWorld Heist come together for the best collaboration of the industrial age.
Pushing the boundaries of engineering and science, the ever-inventive nature of Lux Lab’s Edibot has torn a hole into the SteamWorld Universe and sucked in some fitting explorers along for the ride. Take control of everyones favourite steam-powered Pirates, Captain Piper Faraday and her mechanical motley crew.
Not to forget the living, take the new Naturalist expedition leader out on your next voyage. The Naturalist has the power of taming the wildlife and this new ability will change the way to approach each adventure and really gives your encounters a wild twist you never knew you wanted.
