Speaking of, also launching alongside this update is another exciting Creation from the prolific Kinggath Creations, the team behind “McClarence Outfitters” (Starfield) and "East Empire Expansion” (Skyrim). “Watchtower” introduces a new storyline, new ship attachments and capabilities (like the ability to call in orbital strikes), gear and more.

Official Watchtower Description:

A new faction has emerged from the shadows to protect humanity from potential threats with excessive power – and they’ve identified you as their latest target. Join forces with a fellow adventurer hunted by Watchtower, befriend their contacts and work together to pilfer Watchtower’s technology and turn it against them.
