In their GDC presentation for this year, Paradox Development Studios has set a release date for their non-historical game. Those who dream of expanding their civilization among the stars can expect the game to be available May 9th.
Stellaris is a departure from Paradox’s historical sandboxes and promises to mix traditional 4X gameplay with a touch of the grand strategy that the studio is famous for. Since its announcement at Gamescom last year I’ve been looking forward to seeing how the game would evolve. The various dev diaries since have given me many reasons to be excited for the final product. The twists given on diplomacy and the how the game plays out as one progresses might breathe some new life into the otherwise standard 4X formula.
Paradox is set to show live gameplay for the first time this Thursday 17th at 20:00 CET on their twitch channel.
Between this and the Master of Orion reboot, 2016 is shaping up to be a good year for fans of galactic conquest.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: TheBossQuoting: ElectricPrismAnnouncer sounds too serious, instant turn off. Interested nonetheless looks like the story may be good?
Thought the speaker matched the tone of the video perfectly :)
I have to agree, I liked the VO in the trailer; and it was quite refreshing to hear a female narrator, rather than the "epic" male VO you usually get in trailers. I thought it added something played very well to the mysteries that await us in the void.

In the end it's the old 'you're damned if you do and damned if you don't': continue to release DLC and some get upset, don't release DLC and others get upset. ;-)

Yeah, me too. But I must admit that if you only listen the first two seconds or so, the announcer seems pretty boring. I had my headphones near me when I started the video, and could hear it. I almost closed the tab after putting them on my head, but then I decided to give it a proper go, and restarted the video. @ElectricPrism, I didn't regret it, and you are probably missing something if you don't watch this video, in my opinion. That is, If you like 4X games, of course :)

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
