Unleash the power of Cosmic Storms in Stellaris new expansion
Cosmic Storms brings new technologies and edicts to manipulate and respond to those threats, the Storm Chaser origin and two new precursor stories exploring ancient civilizations
STOCKHOLM, August 15 - Today, Paradox Interactive announced that Cosmic Storms, the new mechanical expansion for its sci-fi strategy game Stellaris, will launch on September 10th on PC. This expansion adds and develops Cosmic Storms, phenomena stronger than civilizations and empires sweeping through the galaxy. To wield the mightiest forces in the universe is to court peril; while some perceive them as dire threats, others grasp them as keys to ascendancy or tools to vanquish their foes. Cosmic Storms is developed in collaboration with Behaviour Interactive and can already be pre-purchased for €12,99/$12,99/£10,99. Cosmic Storms is also included in Stellaris’ Season 08 which includes the three additions for Stellaris releasing this year and the exclusive “Rick the Cube” portrait. Additionally, it is part of the Expansion subscription offer that includes all additional content for Stellaris for a monthly fee.

NEW STORMS

STORM CHASER ORIGIN
The Storm Chasers are an empire made of people that seek to push themselves beyond their own limits. They believe enlightenment is found in engaging with the greatest force the universe has to offer: the Cosmic Storms.
3 NEW CIVICS

- Storm Devotion
- Environmental Architects
2 PRECURSOR NARRATIVES
Discover the stories of the Ancients, vanished masters of the storms: Weather Manipulators and the adAkkaria Convention of Benevolence. The completion of these narratives will unlock a new relic for each.
On top of that, Cosmic Storms adds technologies dedicated to storms, Galactic Community Resolutions, Anomalies, Arc Sites, and Weather Forecast Map Mode. It also adds a new Galactic Weather Control ascension perk, that makes it possible to create cosmic storms with science ships.
