Developer Paradox has announced March 14th as the release date for the new Stellaris First Contact DLC. The DLC offers numerous new mechanics, origins and technologies that expand and enhance the gameplay.
New Origins and Narratives
Among the new features is the introduction of three new Origins: Broken Shackles, Payback, and Fear of the Dark. These are narrative-driven and offer players new ways to create and shape their own empires. Each Origin has its own backstory and requirements to fulfill.
Discover Underdeveloped Civilizations
The Stellaris First Contact DLC fundamentally changes the dynamics of primitive civilizations. It offers new mechanics that reward the player when they encounter underdeveloped civilizations. By exploring and encountering these civilizations, new possibilities can be unlocked that contribute to the expansion of the empire.
Interaction Options and Camouflage Technology
The DLC also offers new interaction options that are unique to the dynamics of an advanced-underdeveloped empire. There is also the possibility to improve the camouflage technology of ships.
Availability and Price
The Stellaris First Contact DLC will be available on Steam on March 14th.
