Today, Paradox Interactive and Abrakam have announced Grand Archive, the new Story Pack for the science fiction grand strategy game Stellaris. The Grand Archive will launch on PC on October 29th. In this new Story Pack, players will uncover and showcase the rarest treasures of the cosmos in their Grand Archive, a groundbreaking new megastructure.

In the story pack, players amass an unparalleled collection of xeno-geological artifacts, relics from forgotten civilizations, and untamed space fauna. The new vivarium will allow them to create incredible genetically modified fleets using the species they discover. This Story Pack also adds two new deadly species: the asteroid-dwelling Cutholoids and the sinister Voidworms, which now roam the galaxy; it also features many other additions, such as two new civics, a new mid-game crisis, new traditions trees, and three new music tracks, among others.

The Grand Archive marks the conclusion of Stellaris: Season 8, which includes The Machine Age (Major Expansion), Cosmic Storms (Mechanical Expansion), and the Rick the Cube exclusive series portrait.


  • THE GRAND ARCHIVE: A monumental new megastructure that preserves and displays the galaxy’s rarest and most valuable artifacts.
  • 151 SPECIMENS TO COLLECT, AND UP TO 240 DISTRIBUTED ACROSS OTHER STELLARIS CONTENT: From historical relics to wild space creatures, create the ultimate galactic exhibition.
  • THE VIVARIUM: Capture and breed wild space fauna, then genetically enhance them to build custom fleets.
  • NEW MID-GAME CRISIS: THE VOIDWORM PLAGUE: Face the terror of a rampaging Voidworm infestation and save your empire—or watch it fall.
  • TWO NEW ORIGINS: Treasure Hunters who are instilled with a thirst for adventure, this civilization is ready to set forth on their greatest and most challenging expedition as they enter the galactic frontier. And the Primal Calling. This civilization has a primal connection to the wild. Viewing themselves as stewards to the diverse (and often deadly) wildlife native to their world, they now turn their gaze skyward.
  • TWO DEADLY SPECIES OF SPACE FAUNA: Voidworms and Cutholoids
  • TWO NEW CIVICS: Galactic Curators and Beastmasters
  • TWO NEW TRADITION TREES: Archivism and Domestication
  • 17 NEW RELICS: Discover powerful new relics that will aid in your conquest and collection.

On September 26, Paradox will reveal Stellaris: The Grand Archive, the next story pack, will launch on October 29, 2024. In The Grand Archive, players will explore a vast repository of galactic marvels and collect exotic specimens from across the galaxy. The story pack introduces new technologies that allow players to genetically modify space fauna, breed them, and use them to advance their empire’s agenda. Eager players can wishlist the story pack on September 26 for $14.99 on Steam.
