Where do you think the next expansion will take place?
Western Underrail?
Eastern Underrail?
Surface?
My guess - next expansion will be a prequel. The protagonist will be the one who stole The Cube from faceless.
-
This could mean only one thing... Gatling Lazor confirmed.
-
an expansion inside the faceless base would be really cool. maybe thats why we dont get to see Tartarus in Deep Caverns? but Styg said it "will be a standalone campaign in which you'll play as a new character in an area that will not be connected to the main game."
so i guess it could technically still be within South Underrail, just not connected to the original player character
-
We've already got art, character concepts, and design for the Grey Army, and we all know that the only thing programmers enjoy more than getting asked if they can just add a toggle is recycling assets. My guess would be if there's another expansion it could be into North UnderRail, with the Grey Army as a primary antagonist to North UnderRail. They're clearly militaristic and powerful enough to pose a threat - perhaps even to Dis. As to which faction would be portrayed as "the good guys" well, I have no idea. Even SGS and Faceless, clearly the "good guys" of the base game, were hardly blemish-free.
I should add that despite the sexy purple dots by my name, I have zero insider information about this so it's just a SWAG.

We'll become the mythical psionic bear, fighting bear traps, the Thing, and overcharged plasma dog.
Or it could be that we're playing as biocorp back in the days, before tchort and faceless thing happens. Maybe we'll get explanation on what the hell is The Cube and Mysterious Disk was. Or maybe it's totally not connected to the game at all and we played as ancient space civilization fighting space alien killer whale and the game becomes hell curtain SMHUP before the entire underrail world even developed

Styg said anything North Underrail is reserved for a sequel. Would still be cool to get a full campaign of Slavic humor with the Grey Army though... maybe West Underrail/Fatherland?
-
anything is okay, as long as i get a quad that works like a jet ski, and, why not, have a base with npc's that i can customize.
-
Ive said before I think it will have something to do with the faceless. I also believe it will have quads. I don't see it being in west underrail, and while something like "hexagon only" is possible and would be neat; I doubt he wants to do a DLC anywhere in north underrail if the 2nd game is going to be there.

IF there will be a 2nd one.
There are some storylines that would be possible :
CONTAINS SPOILERS!
1.
You play as the agent that has been hired to infiltrate the faceless capital.
You spawn at the base of the oculites and your story is kinda connected to underrail, but during the time where the deep south (Not the confederation, i mean Junkyard and SGS) is blocked off from the rest of underrail.
The end will be : You delivering the cube to the Bakers, (Cuz they were in CC/RC during the time SGS was blocked of.) and telling Azif that it is done. You are free to go. And the game ends. The ending slides will be the aftermath of the theft of the cube, the Bakers fate + critical encounters that change the ending slides.
That was my 1. theory.
2. You are playing the PS CEO (Archibald) during the CC riots. You fight with the CT CEO and his troops against BioCorp etc. and the ending will be you retirering as the CEO of PS.
Endingslides could be the upcomming events like the murder of your son, the invasion of the faceless etc.
3. You are a protectorate Corperal. You'll find out pretty quickly why you were promoted to that rank etc. you'll be doing solo missions against the drones or other stuff, till you manage to do something big.
Then the end could come, you are being promoted to a commanding position, like the the protectorate boss, which is commanding the fort in south Underrail.
There are many more possibilities. It might play out before the action of the main game, during it, or after it.

Surface?
Oh....that would be cool. But where? When? Who? Maybe in a alt. timeline where the tchortist weren't murdered by the faceless and made it to the surface?
-
My theory is that the guy who stole the cube from the faceless is in fact Underrail's main character after he or she lost his or her memories.
-
New character that lives in Hexagon, with more advanced equipment and cyberware for all.
My guess - next expansion will be a prequel.
Please no.
-
also please NO SURFACE. Underrail feels giant already as it is, plenty of things to find and places to explore, makes no sense to me to "go outside".
Since north and south underrail are the basics for the actual game, and we have very few news for the east side of underrail, i may be prone it's either east or west, with a 60-70% chance to be east.
-
Is it just me, or does south and north Underrail feel like west and east germany? And the faceless are just the soviets who build the wall/blockade the tunnel.
-

Interesting. What makes you think that?
-
about the cube theory: i am pretty sure that Tanner started the war with the omega because they got the cube somehow...
Also, the DLC puts in a new "entrance" to the Omega base, exiting near to core city, where some of the former occupants from Omega could have escaped.

Nah... I think SGS demolishing Omega was just part of them establishing their territory. Abram says SGS is the most powerful South Underrail faction due to its interesting roster of leaders... After Expedition, we can infer that Ezra would know plenty about wiping out opposing factions. ;)
Also I think the Cube was one of Biocorp's secret exotic artifacts... Similar to how the ACoNR was NFT's artifact. Perhaps it was even powering Hollow Earth before the Incident... explaining how there is still power down there after ~250 years (someone correct me if I got the timeline mixed up).
Or maybe the Faceless figured out how to use it AFTER Otis did what he did. Maybe it has a similar component to it as the Ethereal Torch? .. In that only those with Second Sight or some enhanced psi ability can activate the Cube.
-
hollow earth have reports wich predates your descent there by, iirc, 187 years and some months, anyway the difference is minimal, and also, we are totally unsure of what really powers up ALL of the actual underrail part (while we know that lemco had underwater geothermal power plants).
I have surely missed a good part of the in-game lore, but something tells me that the Omega thing had something to do with Tanner: he's him to send you to get back the buildings at the first mission, wich were omega, and it's again him to send you, along with gorsky, to find what happened into omega... then you go to junkyard and, after that, the cube "vanishes"...also: tanner asked to see what is in gsm compound, wich was omega too, and after that, gorsky "flee" from sgs, never to return...is gorsky fleeing from tanner? Maybe he didn't approve what was done to omega, wich were wiped EXACTLY a bit before the earthquake? Maybe Tanner then found the cube and opened it for a bit, so the faceless tracked it nearby and provoked the earthquake?

Idk, but it isn't plausible, because Abram, Jack and Azif would recognize him/her upon seeing him/her.
-

Pretty sure that he "left" SGS to widen its reach. He has deep connection in CC, as he was infamous to be the leader of major gang back in the days. He also hate protectorate, so he's trusted enough to hold the front-line position, in case Oligarch make a deal with them.
Although I'm not sure if he's actually did that, or succumb to his own personal ambition and revives his old gang once again (as seen on his "best ending") just for the sake of it.
And as the cube, Oculus is most likely being double agent on Tanner and Six, Tanner managed to sniff out the Cube and almost successfully bring it back through that DC elevator near rail-crossing. Unfortunately, there's earthquake going on (most likely caused by either power Destabilization in DC which caused the elevator to dies out or Six' pro gamer rage moment), which trapped Baker's couple. And unfortunately for them, they got ambushed by Acid b0is and the cube got stolen. This is hinted by a particular side quest by Vera. Although idk if it's a coincidence that she asks the guy who's handling the particular work regarding the Cube, or she's intentional because she assumed we knew our actual objectives.

Interesting point.. reminds me of a line of dialogue from Six saying that the Faceless' mission is "important to us all." I took that to mean their transcendence as psi users was important for the survival of humanity (since they are half-man), but maybe he means more literally, as in the infinite energy from the Cube powering South Underrail (which is a creation of Biocorp and may have been the result of an Acorn)

Wild alcohol fueled speculation mixed with wishful thinking
-
So, the next expansion now has a name and it's nothing other than "Infusion".
Looks like I was on the right track and the story will feature Faceless, cubes and stealthy operatives. 8)
-
Styg confirmed that we aren't seeing the faceless city in this expansion, but that he does want to go there in future products.
-
In truth im hope what Styg and friends done new company with same way what was done with spellforce 1.(2 different companing and characters have same goal at ending. And at 3th company (underrail 2) solution of this 2 campaning appears. With tons of lore)
and ofc plasma dogs & DuDe bizzare adventure...
