Stellaris Shadows of the Shroud Expands Space on September 22

The ever-growing universe of Stellaris is expanding once more with its latest expansion, Shadows of the Shroud, which focuses on the Psionic Plane. The DLC promises it’s for “those who seek to master the unknown behind the veil, with a complete overhaul of the Psionic Ascension Path.” As someone who is a few expansions back still, I hope long-time players find the answers they’re seeking beyond the veil with this one!



Whether you’re immensely excited about the Psionic Ascension Path remaster, the revamped End of Cycle, all-new Origins, Civics, and Events, or want to keep up-to-date with the never-ending stream of DLC for Stellaris, know that Shadows of the Shroud is out on September 22. It’ll set you back $19.99, unless you own the Season 09 Expansion Pass, which includes this expansion at no additional cost.

Shadows of the Shroud Expansion Features

  • Carve your path into the Shroud: Breaching the Shroud unfolds as a three-stage situation, where your decisions will determine your empire’s spiritual destiny and determine your attunement to specific Patrons in the Shroud. After you breach into the Shroud, you will have access to a new Shroud Panel, where you can visually analyze your attunement to the Shroud. The more you attune to specific Patrons, the more benefits and bonuses you will unlock.
  • End of the Cycle Revamped: Powers, knowledge, and wealth beyond measure are yours for the taking – and you already know the cost. However, you can delay the inevitable and acquire even more benefits from this unfathomable pact.*
  • Psionic Auras: Your Empire’s Shroud Attunement will manifest across space, influencing your systems. And your friends. And your enemies. Unless the Mindwarden Enclave will curtail your power.
  • And MoreShadows of the Shroud will also feature New Origins, Civics, Government types, events, portraits, ships… and more!
