Play Last Expedition
If you haven’t yet, download Last Expedition today and start playing absolutely free. This game is the future of Extraction-style FPS games, a brilliant combo of PvP and PvE elements, enhanced with the empowerment and ownership potential of web3. Plus, Last Expedition was created by some of the most experienced and skilled developers in the history of gaming. Check it out and happy hunting!
This game is an action-packed and visually stunning PvPvE extraction FPS adventure, set on a hostile alien planet called Aura. After picking a Hunter (one of four with unique abilities and specialties), players team up and prepare to take on Aura.
Your mission is to collect a priceless alien artifact with untold technological power: The Notari Core. While fighting off countless vicious predator aliens and other extraction teams, your team must locate and extract core fragments, leading ultimately to the Core, the main focus of the mission. Once you have extracted the Core, it’s a no-limits dash to the dropship, where only one team can escape with the Core (and their lives).
From the moment you drop onto Aura’s surface, you’re in for a high-powered adrenaline rush that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Stay close to your team and you just might be able to protect yourselves long enough to mine and extract the Notari Core.
The Premium Event
Starting very soon and running for two weeks, Last Expedition will hold a Mission Ready Premium Event. Watch closely for updates and announcements.
To participate, players must purchase an event pass in-game for 3 Core Chunks LECC. The ability purchase this item will become available when the Premium Event begins.
LECC can either be acquired by swapping for $GALA on GalaSwap, or by successfully extracting with a Core in-game.
Purchasing an event a pass will unlock the ability to play on Premium Servers and experience Aura like never before. Seven new creature variations will challenge players from the moment they land. We’ve even included a secret feature designed to push player skills to the limit!
Premium Servers give 3 types of premium rewards! There will be XP rewards, Character Coin Rewards and Fire Skins, all exclusive to this event. But wait there’s more! Players who place on the Premium Leaderboards in the top 10 will receive Alice Fire skins, LEMIN, and LEFC. The top 3 Finishers will also receive a bonus “Darkness Sniper Rifle Skin.”
The Last Expedition Leaderboard is the ultimate measure of your skills as a hunter. Wins, PVP Kills and Creature Kills all contribute to your score so don’t delay. Get your pass and start hunting!
Upgrade your Node
Last Expedition Node Operators (OPs) will play an integral part in this premium event. Upgrade your node with a special Operator’s Premium Pass for only 3 LECC to unlock the ability to host premium matches on your server.

When the event is over, your node will return to its original configuration and threat level.

It’s true. I survived an expedition on Aura. I faced alien creatures that would make your worst nightmares shudder. And somehow I made it out.
The credit goes to my skilled extraction team. I went down, but they were there to pick me up. Even with only four of us on the field and threats coming at us from every direction, we located the Notari fragments and extracted the core. I even managed to pick off a couple loafers from a competing extraction team. Like they say on the platform, we’re all on the same team until we hit the surface. Then it’s every hunter for himself.
I was keeping watch while Jasper mined the core. I guess I was watching the distant Porcupines too close, dodging their acid-tipped quills so carefully that I didn’t notice the deadliest predator bearing down on me. When a Ravager’s coming at you hard, you don’t have time to run. So I got eaten.
I’d heard plenty of stories about getting swallowed by these monstrosities, but descriptions don’t really do the experience justice if you know what I mean. They swallow their prey whole and alive. The goal is to make it past the teeth without any major gashes. Something on the inside of the Ravager’s belly reacts violently with human blood and makes things even worse.
In the repulsive, vile darkness, your slimy hands tremble as you try to chamber a round. Trapped within the belly of a Ravager, your journey on Aura is drawing to an end. Play now https://t.co/7gibu03Qu2pic.twitter.com/kYrL67ycbV
The Ravager’s belly sack closes around you like a squishy and burning wet blanket. Once you’re in there, the Ravager will buck around like mad, but try to keep your cool. I was only inside that thing for probably 10-15 seconds, but I had time to question an entire lifetime of bad choices. Maybe there’s some kind of psychoactive toxin in its stomach acid to make sure the experience is unimaginably horrible, or maybe it was just my life flashing before my eyes. Who knows, but in that moment I decided I was never coming back to this Godforsaken planet if I got out alive.
Next thing I knew, a big hole was blasted in its side and the Ravager fell down dead in a pile of putrid gore. “You’re welcome,” Jasper said with a grin, holding the core under one arm and his weapon under the other. We took off toward the dropship, and we made it. We came out richer and I learned some valuable lessons about watching out for Ravagers – I just wish I could get the damn thing’s stink off me.
Am I going back for more? You bet your ass I am. I’ll see you on the surface.
Last Expedition Mission Ready
You can never be totally ready for a mission to Aura, but it’ll happen sooner or later. That’s why you’re out here in the outer limits of known space on The Platform.
Get ready for Mission Ready’s first big update, coming in the next couple weeks with a leaderboard competition, node upgrades, special drops and more!
Solve the Mysteries of Aura.
Plunder the most powerful alien tech in the universe.
The hunt has been lucrative for everyone here on the platform. Aura is remote… you know though, word spreads quick about treasure like this.
You haven’t noticed? It’s on everybody’s mind – no one has to say anything. With the riches we’re finding on this planet, a hunter could do a year’s worth of business in a few days. That kind of opportunity doesn’t stay undiscovered for long.
Everybody’s gearing up to get as much as they can as fast as they can. Never mind the parasites and the ravagers… more dangerous things will be here soon.
Prepare for some big updates coming to the planet Aura! This hunt just got serious.
Last Expedition: Mission Ready is a massive update to existing gameplay. Get ready for tons of new content, systems, fixes and much more danger.
The Mission
The hunter grind isn’t the easiest, we get it. That’s why Platform management has graciously agreed to recognize the sacrifices of intrepid hunters with a new performance-based advancement system! Thank you for your continued excavation of Aura in the face of workplace risks such as abandonment, disembowelment or alien ingestion!
Hunters will now gain XP from each play session, which will gradually let them unlock new ranks in Last Expedition.
As you achieve each new rank, you’ll receive rewards in Last Expedition’s new Character Token – LECHAR.
As new hunters rush to the Platform to hunt invaluable resources on Aura, LECHAR can be used to unlock new playable characters, each with a new assortment of abilities and strategic importance for a team of hunters. There may be a new one to unlock very soon… 👀
Modern Style
The Platform is exceedingly remote, so they don’t often get much exposure to the latest fashion trends across the galaxy. With the escalating influx of new hunters eager to plunder aura for big time loot, however, many new styles and trends have inundated the Platform.
Care to freshen up your style and sport some new fashion? Mission Ready will bring 16 new character skins along with nine new weapon skins.
Have you been stocking up on Minerals Core Chunks and Fragment Chunks? With this update, these hoarded resources are how you’ll gain access to these new character skins. Each of the 16 new Character skins has four different rarities – Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary.
Remember though, only one team can keep the resources that they find to spend on new threads. There’s not enough room on this extraction platform for all of us!
More Danger = More Rewards
Higher threat level creatures and servers will have increased loot drops for the Mission Ready release. In tougher matches, you’ll get more XP, more resources and maybe even exclusive loot drops for escaping with the core.
The nine new Mission Ready weapon skins will be dropping from some of the most vicious aliens out there. Get ready to fight for it, because they’re not letting go of it easily!
Prepare for the Last Expedition Mission Ready pre Alpha build—dropping soon! Limited edition weapon fire skins incoming in-game. Collect them all before time's up! 🔥🔥🔥https://t.co/7gibu03Qu2pic.twitter.com/Mz01WwXlgu
Expect to hear more soon from us about all the new content coming up in the Last Expedition: Mission Ready release. Until then, good luck out there… and good hunting!
