And Lithoids is coming to consoles later this month.
Sci-fi strategy game Stellaris’ latest expansion, Nemesis, will hit the PC on April 15, and the Lithoids Species Pack will hit PS4 and Xbox One on March 25.
Nemesis, as its name suggests, finally lets Stellaris players properly embrace their dark side by giving them the opportunity to start a crisis. Usually these are events in the late stages that indicate the arrival of powerful AI forces that will perish in bloody battle or wipe out all known life, but Nemesis allows human players themselves to master the destructive unraveling of the galaxy.
First, however, they must perform evil deeds and incur Menace, which is used to ascend through the ranks of evil, and eventually unlock the Aetherophasic Engine – a doomsday device powered by the dark energy created by the stars in to take.

Players who choose themselves as heroes can take on the mantle of Galactic Custodians using Nemesis’ new tools – including espionage and covert operations – to thwart the forces of evil. Both sides will set up espionage networks, gather valuable information, acquire assets, steal research and manipulate the truth in their pursuit of domination.
All that comes on Steam, GOG and the Microsoft Store on April 15 with the launch of Stellaris’ Nemesis expansion. Console players can enhance their spaceflight adventures, this time with the Lithoids Species Pack, on March 25th.
