Today Paradox Interactive announced via press release that a new expansion of its space grand strategy game Stellaris is incoming, titled “Overlord.”
The expansion will provide galactic rulers and conquerors with “new features centered around more intricate management of their intergalactic empires.”
As usual, a free update named “Cepheus” will also come at the same time as the expansion, even if details are yet to be disclosed.
Below you can check out the trailer and an official description of the expansion, that is said to be “coming soon” while a release date has not been announced.
“In Overlord, ambitious leaders will unlock a new level of empire management and realize their grand designs for the universe. Specialized vassal roles will allow players to either elevate the planets within their realms to new heights of glory, or keep them in line and under control. New enclaves will present unique opportunities and challenges, and a selection of new megastructures will offer ways to project power further and faster. Five new Origins, new music, and more will be included when Overlord launches later this year.”
We also get a comment from game director Stephen Muray.
“The stories our players have told through the last six years of Stellaris never fail to amaze us.
We’ve seen empires rise and fall, unite and destroy, and clash overtly or covertly with their galactic neighbors. With Overlord, we want to give players more options and opportunities to realize their own ‘space operas,’ build a universe full of grand houses or squabbling vassals, and see how long they can hold power over what they’ve created. Look for more details on what it means to be a galactic Overlord very soon!”
Stellaris is currently available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
