Foundation: Galactic Frontier launches The Usurper: Season 2 is live

Foundation: Galactic Frontier, FunPlus’s free-to-play mobile sci-fi 4X strategy RPG, got a new update this week: Season 2, The Usurper. And if that title caught your eye over the last few days, don’t confuse it with a new season of Apple TV+‘s Foundation.

The mix-up makes some sense. Season 2, The Usurper first showed up in a sponsored YouTube preview from Mirandus Plays before it went live in the game, so plenty of people saw the name floating around without much context and assumed it was TV news.

The game itself is officially licensed by Apple TV and Skydance, and Foundation: Galactic Frontier builds on the TV version of Foundation, not just Isaac Asimov’s original books.

Story-wise, Season 2, The Usurper takes place after the war in Kirrel. The fighting moves to the resource-rich Siwenna Province, now under the Ascendancy Court, and your role is to dig into the lies surrounding the Ascendancy Throne and figure out who the mysterious Usurper really is.

The update also brings in Electromagnetic Storms, Electromagnetic Shield Towers, an Ore Refinery, the Ascendancy Hall, the Aromabloom War, plus faction events centered on the Progressive Front and the Ascendancy Court, along with seasonal rewards.

If you’re already playing Foundation: Galactic Frontier, or you just want another excuse to spend more time in this universe, this looks like a solid update to check out. Just don’t read that season title and assume Apple TV+ quietly announced something.

You can download Foundation: Galactic Frontier now as a free-to-play mobile game.
