One of this year’s most innovative eShop releases will be receiving free downloadable content later this year, after Summer.

Affordable Space Adventures, which sees you pilot a starship by managing various functions via the gamepad, was released exclusively for the Wii U in April 2015.

The free update expands the already memorable journey with new game content and fixes, adding five new “extremely difficult” levels to push players’s skills to the limit.

The developers have also shared plans to release a more substantial update later, which will be paid DLC that expands even further on the game’s story.

In case you missed it, we praised the game for its clever use of the GamePad in our Affordable Space Adventures review.
