Stellaris Shadows of the Shroud Expansion Release Date

STOCKHOLM – September 2, in the year of our Lord 2025 – Today, Paradox Interactive announced that Shadows of the Shroud, the new expansion for their hit grand sci-fi strategy game Stellaris, is coming to PC on September 22 for a suggested retail price of $19.99/£16.75/€19.99. Developed in collaboration with developer Abrakam, Shadows of the Shroud features a comprehensive remaster of the Psionic Ascension Path, a revamped End of Cycle, new Origins, Civics, Events, and more, delivering the ultimate expansion for players who seek to master the unknown behind the veil.

Players who own the Stellaris Season 09 Expansion Pass will receive immediate access to Shadows of the Shroud as part of their purchase at no extra cost when the expansion launches.

Features of Shadows of the Shroud include:

Carve your path into the Shroud: Breaching the Shroud unfolds as a three-stage situation, where your decisions will determine your empire’s spiritual destiny and determine your attunement to specific Patrons in the Shroud. After you breach into the Shroud, you will have access to a new Shroud Panel, where you can visually analyze your attunement to the Shroud. The more you attune to specific Patrons, the more benefits and bonuses you will unlock.
End of the Cycle Revamped: Powers, knowledge, and wealth beyond measure are yours for the taking - and you already know the cost. However, you can delay the inevitable and acquire even more benefits from this unfathomable pact.*
Psionic Auras: Your Empire’s Shroud Attunement will manifest across space, influencing your systems. And your friends. And your enemies. Unless the Mindwarden Enclave will curtail your power.
And More: Shadows of the Shroud will also feature New Origins, Civics, Government types, events, portraits, ships… and more!

*The End of the Cycle will remain available to players who own Utopia. Shadows of the Shroud will also grant access to this feature (in case you do not own Utopia) and exclusive new content that expands it.
