Opus Magnum from Zachtronics is getting a big new 'De Re Metallica' DLC

Easily my favourite game from Zachtronics, Opus Magnum is making a return with a big new DLC that's set to arrive on March 17th. While most of the original Zachtronics team moved on to form Coincidence, Opus Magnum is staying under the Zachtronics name with the original team coming back together to create this DLC along with a Complete Edition for the Switch.

From the press email they explained: "Zach was originally approached by a couple fans in the community about some compelling and unique ideas for the game. As a game designer, it sparked his creativity and he felt he had to see it through and hence De Re Metallica was born."

What is the DLC? De Re Metallica, Opus Magnum's large-scale DLC, is about half of the size of the original game featuring 17 new puzzles across 3 chapters, with 3 new glyphs, as well as a new take on Solitaire. In a prequel story set before the events of Opus Magnum, De Re Metallica, follows a maverick alchemical researcher named Saverio Daas, who believes he can unlock metallurgical secrets that even the Imperial Academy has not uncovered! Along the way he'll clash with established orthodoxy, bicker with his assistant, and attract attention from the Great Houses.
