While storm systems already exist in Stellaris, the new Cosmic Storms expan𓂃sion adds 8 new types of Cosmic Storms that replace the existing Space Storms and randomly spawn across the map. The new Cosmic Storms are Electric, Particle, Gravity, Magnetic, Radiant, Stardust, Shroud, and Nexus. The storms wi⛎ll automatically grow, shrink, and change speeds as they work their way across the galaxy.

Alongside the storms is the new Storm Chaser Origin🅰, an empire of p🤡eople that seek to push themselves beyond their own limits. As such, they strive for enlightenment by engaging with the new fierce Cosmic Storms that the universe sends at them.

With the new Sto🏅rm Chaser Origin comes three new civics: Astrometeorology, Storm Devotion, and Environmental A♐rchitects. There are also two new precursor stories that discover the stories of the Ancients, vanished masters of the storms: Weather Manipulators and the adAkkaris Convention of Benevolence. Completing each narrative will unlock a new relic.

Stellaris: Cosmic Storms will be released on PC via Steam on September 10, 2024, at the price point of $12.99. It’s part of the Season 8 Season Pass and will also be added to the monthly Expansion Subscription for Stellaris.
