Stellaris: Utopia Release Date Announced
Paradox Interactive has dated the Utopia expansion for Stellaris for early April, so we now know when we can build our very own Dyson Spheres.
There's probably going to be a few competing galactic nations that would prefer their Utopian dream become the dominant one so you'll have to conquer, purge and annex your way to perfection. Megastructures, habitat stations, traditions and even rights and privileges are introduced with this first expansion.
A big number of changes will be happening alongside Utopia as Paradox Development Studios is very busy also with a free patch. The game's faction system is being overhauled so it isn't only about ungrateful rebel groups needing suppression, but representing the various political forces vying for favour.
"Utopia is the first major expansion for Stellaris, the critically acclaimed science fiction grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio. As the title suggests, Utopia gives you new tools to develop your galactic empire and keep your people (or birdfolk or talking mushrooms) happy. Push your species further out into the galaxy with new bonuses for rapid exploration or stay closer to home before striking out against all who would challenge you."
Utopia Feature Highlights:
• Megastructures: Build wondrous structures in your systems including Dyson Spheres and ring worlds, bringing both prestige and major advantages to your race.
• Habitat Stations: Build “tall” and establish space stations that will house more population, serving the role of planets in a small and confined empire.
• Traditions: Collect Unity points and adopt ideas and bonuses that will ease your species’ expansion across the stars, unlocking special perks for completing a set.
• Rights and Privileges: Set specific policies for which of the many species under your thumb will have the rights and privileges of full citizenship.
Stellaris: Utopia releases on PC April 6th, 2017.
