Strategy represents a colossal genre in video games, but few grand strategy games have achieved as much success and popularity as Stellaris, which continues to impress on both PC and consoles. Stellaris doesn't sit still, either, and is almost always preparing to release a new expansion, content pack, or update. Today, Paradox Interactive announced the Nemesis expansion, the next full-featured expansion that should add a ton of new content, mechanics, and ways to play to Stellaris.
Not a ton of details are known about Nemesis at the moment, except that it'll add espionage tactics to collect and take advantage of intel and information, mechanics that give players ultimate power over their universe, and much more. The Nemesis expansion is PC-only for now. You can now wishlist it on Steam and GOG. For now, there's no release date, but it is "coming soon."
Stellaris is an excellent grand strategy game, but the sheer number of expansions and content can be daunting. If you want to give the game a try before committing, take advantage of Xbox Game Pass.
