Stellaris Utopia DLC Releases
STOCKHOLM – Apr. 6, in the year of our Lord 2017
– The time has come to lead your species into a permanent golden
age; to a future where the brilliance of your scientists and
energy of your administrators is harnessed to build immense
megastructures that dwarf even the planet itself. Sound
leadership and a firm hand in diplomacy will bring your species
to the promised land, to Utopia.
Utopia is the first major expansion for Stellaris, the science
fiction grand strategy game that delivers variety in an ever
changing universe. Utopia adds new ways to improve your planets
and even your species itself, with a greater focus on allowing
you to reach your full potential in a multitude of new ways -
both peaceful and aggressive.
One of the major upgrades in Utopia is the addition of Ascension
perks. Harness the unity of your species to establish strong
cultural traditions allowing your empire to pursue your specific
vision of Utopia. Choose to advance via genetic engineering,
psionic exploration, or even abandon frail mortal flesh entirely
and pursue a path of cybernetic ascension.
Other features available in Utopia include:
Megastructures: Build ringworlds or Dyson spheres to make the
most of your star system, adding prestige and power to those who
wield this technology.
Habitat Stations: Your subjects can orbital habitat stations. No
longer will you be forced to fight costly wars to house a
burgeoning population.
More Evil Empires: Use your subjects as domestic servants,
battle thralls...or food
Indoctrination: Before bringing a pre-FTL civilization in to the
galactic community, it’s important that they believe the right
things. Guide the primitives to follow your true path.
Advanced Civics: Three new civics for your empire to aid in the
dynamic story-telling that Utopia excels at – syncretic
evolution, mechanist and fanatic purifier.
Hive Minds: Can you master the challenge of ruling an empire
that is one collective consciousness?
And more: New events, new decisions and the mystery of The
Shroud.
Stellaris: Utopia launches with the Banks update to Stellaris,
another major upgrade free to all Stellaris owners. The Banks
update reworks the place of factions in your population, adds
new challenges to maintaining internal stability within your
Empire, and makes changes to how ethics work in the game. The
goal is to make empire management a more engaging task.
