Victor Santos crafts the story, while Pedro Andreo brings the universe to life with striking visuals.

A High-Stakes Heist

Set aboard the Nomad ships in the tense world of illegal Aristeia! competitions, “Aftermath” revolves around young hacker Uhahu and seasoned Caledonian fighter Denma Connolly. Both characters decide to rig a game of Aristeia! and make off with the earnings, unwittingly getting embroiled in an international conspiracy that could change the very fabric of the Infinity Universe.

Characters Old and New

For those familiar with the Infinity universe, the names of Uhahu, first introduced in the “Infinity Outrage” manga, and Denma Connolly will certainly ring a bell. These two heroes are not the only ones who will be facing peril, as readers will encounter cameos from well-known Infinity characters.

A Shadowy Antagonist

Adding more layers to the story is Ksenia Lavochkina, the leader of the Tunguskan mob syndicate Structura. Known for her ruthlessness and cunning, Lavochkina is a character you wouldn’t want to cross paths with. She has an integral role in “Aftermath” and is likely to become a fan-favorite.

Bonus Content

Infinity enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly anticipating these new additions, as well as the advent of the game-changing Reinforcements feature. Stay tuned for more updates from Corvus Belli as we approach the July release date.

The development team at Corvus Belli has labored diligently to produce a unified document that incorporates both the annex document, which features special rules and Fireteams, and various issues stemming from the frequently asked questions (FAQ). Additionally, the update corrects errata in the document and introduces changes to the wording for better clarity.

One significant clarification pertains to the rule of Dodge Roll and whether it opposes an Attack of Berserk. Other additions include the explanation of how attribute values in Saving Rolls interact with Bioimmunity, and further details on the Impetuous Movement rule.

The wording around the rule of Loss of Lieutenant has been refined, explicitly stating that the rule does not apply if the Lieutenant is on the board, even in marker form. This clarification resolves any ambiguity surrounding the deployment of the Lieutenant in camouflage.

The update also clarifies the interactions of certain skills such as Hidden Deployment and Holoprojector and Mnemonica and Lieutenants with the +1 Order MOD or Neurocinetics with MOD to B.

A major revision from the FAQ incorporated in this version is the change in the Order Expenditure Sequence. The update allows the Active Troop to check the Enemy ARO by checking the Zone of Control. The exact point in the Order Expenditure Sequence when Dodging or Alert takes effect has also been defined.

Another significant adjustment lies in the rules for measuring Climbing and Jumping movements, designed to simplify and facilitate these special maneuvers. A rule from the previous ITS season, which permitted Impetious Troops on Motorbikes to either retain their Impetuous status or lose it to benefit from the Cover MOD, has been made permanent.

Further, the wording for the Total Control rule and the Possessed State rule has been clarified to define the implications for TAGs without a Pilot or with destroyed Remote Pilots. The update also covers whether a Pilot can mount or dismount while their TAG is in this state.

Lastly, the v2.0 rules update introduces an element of intrigue when using troops with HoloMasks. The Composition bonuses of Fireteams will remain private information until the player declares any skills benefiting from these bonuses.

This enthralling collection will allow players to truly immerse themselves in the thrilling world of Infinity. These meticulously crafted figures are designed to spur epic battles and expand your gaming horizons, promising to bring your most exciting adventures to life.
