In an astonishing development, Paradox Interactive has revealed the final DLC for the mafia strategy title **Empire of Sin**, which had been widely believed to be lost. Five years following its initial release and the abandonment of significant post-launch plans, the anticipated content expansion is at last arriving with [The Hunt for Aurora](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/empire-of-sin-the-hunt-for-aurora-releasing-next-week.1775625/).
Set to launch next week, on June 24, 2025, it will be available for all players of the main game.
## A surprising revival
Details regarding “The Hunt for Aurora” are currently quite limited. The title could suggest a narrative-driven quest for an enigmatic figure, possibly implying a new campaign or a set of missions for the sandbox mode. Nonetheless, this has yet to receive official confirmation.
Besides the name and launch date, there are no specific insights into new game mechanics, characters, or even updates to existing systems. Therefore, the essential queries remain unresolved for the time being.
The announcement continues to generate significant buzz on the [Paradox forum](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/empire-of-sin-the-hunt-for-aurora-releasing-next-week.1775625/), particularly because Empire of Sin **has experienced a tumultuous history**.
The strategy game crafted by John Romero and his team debuted in 2020 with lofty aspirations but faced mixed reviews and technical challenges. The extensive post-launch content initially intended, for which an expansion pass was even devised, was ultimately scrapped.
Following the last major expansion, “Make It Count,” in 2021, silence surrounded the Mafia XCOM. It was broadly regarded as concluded, with the developers at Romero Games focusing on new endeavors. The fact that Paradox is now providing a final installment, five years later, stands as one of the year’s most significant gaming surprises thus far. So, if you’re inclined to revisit 1920s Chicago after all these years, it’s advisable to keep an eye on Paradox’s official channels in the coming days. By the time it launches on June 24, at the latest, we will discover what the expansion truly offers and whether it’s merely a small farewell gift or something more.
