Stellaris set to begin the voyage on May 9th 2016

[BjornB]

It has been a long voyage, most of it cloaked in darkness. But planetfall is in sight – a new franchise will establish itself on Planet Paradox. Stellaris will be released on May 9, 2016.

Stellaris is the new science fiction strategy game from Paradox Development Studio, the creators of Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron. This will be the first strategy game from PDS that is rooted not in the past, but the future, as you guide a species of your design to power and glory in the depths of space. With randomly created opponents and procedurally generated star systems, no two games can even play out the same way.Our new trailer has never before seen game footage including starships massed for combat, the galaxy map and some of the most beautiful stars in the universe.

Time to purge some aliens

 

[Axe99]

Much excitement, the game's looking slick, will be there on release day . Very impressed at the well paced timing of reveal - dev diaries - release .

 

[Zaku]

Great news, really looking forward to this.
Can I ask when will the pre-orders become available? I'm itching for my forum icon.

 

[Praetorian44]

I'm really looking forward to this game. I'm already setting aside some money for it (I know it's quite sad that I have to set aside game money two months in advance).

 

[Link Strife]

I have very high expectations for this game, and for HOI4 as well. 2016 is looking better and better.

 

[Attalus]

I'll be on a trip until the 15th of May so I'll play it patched (that's what I'm saying to comfort myself )

 

[Kayden_II]

Very Good.^^

 

[Oahkoah]

I'm looking forward to purging all xenos from the galaxy.

The fact that there is only a month between this and HoI4 means I'm going to have some huge choices to make about how I divide my time!

 

[Zakath]

Remember the Nepsis, purge the Xenos!

Why on a Monday Paradox, why?!

 

[Prophet of ReShrek]

Oh my god. I thought this was gonna come out in 18 or 19. Now all I need is that second Frank Ocean album and 16 will be an amazing year.

Why on a Monday Paradox, why?!

Indeed why? It shall be a very, very, very long and unproductive working week

 

[Lamahorse]

This is fantastic.

Yeah? Well I'll be on a trip from April to mid June! I will miss HOI 4 and this! I'mma try to avoid all videos of the two games after they are released, want to play it with an uninfluenced mind when I get back!

I heard newly weds that play Stellaris together have expanded diplomacy options.
