Paradox Announces New Space Strategy Title Stellaris

Paradox Development Studio, the studio behind grand strategy classics like Europa Universalis, and Paradox Interactive have announced at Gamescom that they are working on a new grand strategy title, Stellaris.

Stellaris will be a real-time strategy game that allows your to explore the galaxy and build an empire with 7 different playable species (or you can build one yourself), and uncover new civilizations that can be hostile or peaceful.

It also comes along with a technology system that allows your scientists to advance down the tech tree. More than just the biggest battlecruisers and lasers, you can also explore technologies that allow you to harness the vast space, giving your people a better life. You can also build alliances and federations, or wage war against alien species, and even build your own customized ships.

Stellaris looks to be an interesting development of the space strategy genre, and we will update on this when more is available. Till then, enjoy the screenshots that are from the alpha version of the game, which may not be the final build, but it's certainly shaping up well!
