Stellaris offers pre-order DLC

Paradox Interactive has announced that pre-orders for Stellaris, the forthcoming sci-fi grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio, are live.

Several versions of Stellaris are now available for pre-purchase, including premium editions which include a variety of bonus content. Players can pre-order the Stellaris game in the Standard Edition ($39.99), or in the Nova Edition ($49.99), the latter of which includes the game and also a 140-minute digital soundtrack, exclusive cosmetic DLC and more.

The Galaxy Edition ($69.99) is also available and includes all of the content from the Nova Edition, along with a Digital Collector’s Book detailing the art and design of Stellaris, the novel “Stellaris: Infinite Frontiers” on eBook, and an exclusive digital wallpaper signed by the Stellaris development team.

In addition, fans who pre-order any edition of Stellaris will have their name sent into lower space by Paradox. A USB drive filled with the names of all pre-order participants will be attached to a weather balloon and launched into the upper stratosphere. Pre-orders will also be rewarded with a set of Stellaris ringtones from the game’s original soundtrack.

If you pre-order you also get the Creatures of the Void DLC – a cosmetic add on that includes five new alien designs chosen by the community.

Stellaris will be released for Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs on May 9, 2016.
