Get Ready for the Grand Archive: A New Megastructure in Stellaris
Grand Archive is the games new story pack coming to Stellaris on Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the creativity of Paradox Development Studio and Abrakam. Coming to both Steam and GOG. Paradox Interactive and Abrakam just released some exciting news. On October 29th, they’re releasing the new Grand Archive Story Pack for Stellaris. If you’re into collecting and showcasing new content from across the galaxy, this is coming to Linux and Steam Deck. In Grand Archive, players will build an epic new megastructure — the Grand Archive itself. It’s like a cosmic museum where you can show off the rarest treasures in the universe. We’re talking about xeno-geological artifacts, relics from forgotten civilizations, and even rare space creatures. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a vivarium feature that lets you capture and modify space fauna to create genetically enhanced fleets. So, you can build your own custom space army using the creatures you find. But that’s not all. You’ll encounter two new species that bring even more danger to the galaxy. The asteroid - dwelling Cutholoids and the sinister Voidworms are out there, and they’re not playing around. The Voidworms even tie into a new mid-game crisis called the Voidworm Plague, which could turn your empire upside down if you’re not careful.
