Stellaris: Shadows of the Shroud DLC Launches on September 22

Paradox Interactive has officially announced that the next major expansion for their popular grand strategy game, Stellaris, titled Shadows of the Shroud, will be released on September 22. The announcement was accompanied by a new story trailer, challenging players to confront the "constant temptation of absolute destruction" that awaits in the game's mysterious psionic dimension.

Shadows of the Shroud invites players to delve into the enigmatic and perilous psionic realm known as the Shroud. This dimension is a source of immense power, but also great danger, and those who seek to harness its energies will find new challenges and opportunities. The upcoming DLC promises to significantly enhance the psionic gameplay experience, offering a range of new features for those bold enough to peer beyond the veil.

Key Features of Shadows of the Shroud Include:

• Completely Reworked Psionic Ascension Path: The path to psionic supremacy has been fully redesigned, offering deeper strategic choices and more impactful transformations for empires seeking to unlock the mind's full potential.
• New Shroud Attunement Panel: Once players establish a connection with the Shroud, a new dedicated panel will become available. This panel will display their level of attunement to various patrons within the Shroud, with closer alignment granting increasingly powerful bonuses and advantages.
• Psionic Auras: The degree of an empire's attunement to the Shroud will now dynamically influence its systems through psionic auras, creating unique effects and challenges across their domain.
• Additional Content: The expansion also introduces a host of new origins, civic models, government types, events, portraits, ships, and more, further expanding the vast possibilities within the Stellaris universe.

Stellaris: Shadows of the Shroud will be available for PC via Steam and GOG starting September 22. Players who own the ninth season pass for Stellaris will receive the Shadows of the Shroud expansion at no additional cost. This expansion promises to offer a fresh perspective on psionic gameplay, encouraging players to explore the dangerous, yet rewarding, depths of the Shroud dimension and the entities that dwell within it, ultimately shaping their empire's destiny in new and unpredictable ways.
