In the update, players will be “called upon to face a mysterious new threat that has emerged from one of the most obscure places in the galaxy: the Gree planet of Asation.” It seems as those the Gree have been “safeguarding ancient technologies” on the planet for a very, very long time, and somehow, one of these called the “Hypergate” has been activated. It has caused nasty creatures to come through, and players will be dispatched to Asation to close the Hypergate and stop this terrible menace before it gets out of control.
