Public Service Announcement!
The 2.3 update and Ancient Relics release in less than 48 hours.
Remember that, as with any big update, your 2.2 save games won't be compatible with the update. Either wrap up those saves or roll back to 2.2 on the release day to finish them. :)
Good Morning Community!
Let's start this week with a meme. About starts.
In Ancient Relics, discoveries await on all kinds of celestial bodies. Rocky planets, asteroids, gas giants and finally the oceans of alien worlds you'll explore in search of mysteries of long-gone civilizations.
You can pre-order Ancient Relics now:
As the 2.3 and Ancient Relics roll out, our base-game precursors will get some love too!
Each precursor chain now ends with a relic reward! We won't spoil anything. Two bottom rows show them off.
In the top row, there are base-game crisis relics. :)
In "Ancient Relics", not all that glitters is energy credits.
Do you like Stellaris' soundtrack and want to listen to it outside of the game? :)
You can get it at a 50% discount! It's 52 tracks, including in-game music, unreleased tracks & trailer songs! And we add more music to it as the game grows!
Get it here:
Our scientist has developed a "Paranoid" trait while excavating an archaeological site. Surely she's overreacting...
Now that the embargo is down, we have one more surprise for you. :)
We know you like to rename stuff! In the 2.3 "Wolfe" update we'll help you out a little!
We've added a "randomize" button which will roll one of the many planet names in the name list you're using for your empire. Below example is based on UNE's name list.
If you'd like to watch the "Ancient Relics" stream by an actual archaeologist, check out @FG_squared stream!
The Stellaris: Ancient Relics streaming embargo is now lifted!
Go check in with your favorite streamers for a preview of the Story Pack, releasing on June 4th!
And if you're a streamer, pop in the comment section and drop a link to your stream so others can check it out! :)
In Ancient Relics, not all archaeology sites are located on a solid surface!
You'll be able to "dig" for mysteries in the atmospheres of gas giants too! Want to guess what kind of discoveries await within those planets? :)
Gotta love Stellaris fanart! This awesome piece was inspired by our game and created by Grégory Nunkovics!

@Alexecuted 2/2 Our devs are working on the Utopia expansion on the consoles as we speak, but we want them to work with some degree of a peace of mind. Once they're ready to commit to a date, we will share it. :)
We're still set for this summer however.
We think there is a lot of cool stuff in the 2.3 "Wolfe" and Ancient Relics patch notes, but this is probably one of the things you've been asking about the most. :)
