Paradox have released Stellaris: Grand Archive, a pretty fun sounding story pack for their popular sci-fi grand strategy game. There's also a free update out now as well.
Developed together with Abrakam (Faeria, Roguebook), with it you get access to the Grand Archive, a new megastructure where treasures found across the galaxy can be studied and displayed. Giving you a Vivarium where you can dissect and research various creatures along with two entirely new deadly forms of Space Fauna, two new origins, and a new mid-game crisis, amongst other features.
