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.
