During Paradox Announcement Show, amongst other reveals and announcements came the release date for some upcoming DLC. Stellaris: First Contact will be released on March 14th! The story pack will give new options for both fledgling empires and interactions with pre-faster-than-light civilizations. Will you raise them to the future for their own sake? Or have a new planet of subjects?

With these new interactions, we will also see new starts for empires. These include prisoners of an alien race breaking free and becoming their own nation, a planet kicking their alien overlords out, and a split faction start with one half wanting to stay safe in their own system and the other ready to explore the dangers of the universe. What will you choose, and will you lead your nation to greatness? Some of the other additions include those pre-FTL interactions and cloaking mechanics to help keep your ship hidden from your adversaries as well as these early nations. Wouldn’t want someone to film your ship and put it on the History channel!

Stellaris: First Contact will be released March 14 on PC. Be sure to check out the release date trailer below and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
