Paradox Interactive have announced Nemesis, the next DLC expansion for their sci-fi grand strategy game, Stellaris.

Nemesis will place players in control of a galaxy on the brink of destruction, along with the tools they need to bring order or sow more chaos. This includes additional espionage options, as well as the ability to either become the Galactic Custodian or the Menace.

The Galactic Custodian will guide the galaxy through these difficult times, while the Menace turns you into the endgame crisis that threatens to eradicate all of civilization. This is just your first step as you “Become the Crisis,” unlocking perks and ships as you perform evil acts.

Your ultimate end goal is to become an Existential Crisis, and build an Aetherophasic Engine from the dark matter of exploded stars; for instant victory. You can find more details on Becoming the Crisis here.

The Stellaris: Nemesis DLC Expansion is coming soon. You can find the announcement trailer below.

You can find a rundown of the DLC (via Steam) below:

Nemesis is an expansion to Stellaris in which the player will be able to determine the fate of a destabilizing galaxy. Adding espionage tools, a path to power as the Galactic Custodian to combat endgame crises – or the Menace option to BECOME the endgame crisis – Nemesis gives you the most powerful tools ever available in Stellaris.

Ultimately you will have to make the choice between chaos or control, to take charge of a galaxy spiraling into crisis. Will you find a way to take power through diplomacy or subterfuge, or will you watch the stars go out one by one?

Stellaris is available on Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via GOG and Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
