Written by Brandon Hofer on September 27, 2024

News: New content is on the way which will showcase a groundbreaking structure, in addition to geological artifacts and other rare treasures.

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

Grand Archive is developed in collaboration with Abrakam and can already be pre-purchased for €14,99/$14,99/£12,79. Grand Archive is also included in Stellaris: Season 08, including the three additions for Stellaris release this year and the exclusive “Rick the Cube” portrait. Additionally, it is part of the Expansion subscription offer which gives access to all additional content for Stellaris for a monthly fee.
