It's 11 o'clock in Sweden, most people probably just got to work 2 hours ago. So, be patient my young padawan. If there is no diary till tomorrow, they are most probably on holiday.

Are the Stellaris Devs on holiday? Not sure, all of the other Paradox teams are on holiday break according to the last posted developer diaries though (CK2, EU4, HOI4) that I checked.

Will there be a Diary today? I hope so. If there isn't an status update, this forum will be "interesting" to read over the holiday break.

Crime will rise and Stability will go down...
Not sure if Devs will enable martial law or will try to negotiate :D

During the Livestream last Week it was said that the new Game Director plans to do a Dev Dairy about the Future (Plans) of Stellaris.

I’d much rather see a dev diary promising to fix all remaining serious bugs, and also promising to deal with the many unintended consequences of the 2.2 game mechanics changes.

Well, I certainly hope they're not on holiday yet. They said they would try to get the game in as good a shape as possible before the holidays. I'd expect at least an apology before they leave. But last time we heard anything from them they were still working on the beta patch. I still hope we can get at least one more release to fix the most broken aspects of the AI and other bugs.

To leave the game in this state over the holidays would not really be acceptable.

Wait, wait, wait! New game director? I seem to miss a lot of news these days...
Wiz has stepped down to work on V̶I̶C̶T̶O̶R̶I̶A̶ ̶3̶ a secret project and Moregard has stepped up into his role. To be fair I don't think they've announced it in the forums yet

Thanks. I hadn't heard anything about it. I wonder how much power a paradox game director has deciding the direction of a game's development. That is, how drastically (if at all) the direction will change with a new director. I mean, even if he has been on the stellaris team for years he will surely have his own ideas about what the game will become. Those might be very different from what Wiz has planned. Could mean some interesting surprises in the future.
