Paradox Interactive‘s 4X hit Stellaris is about to become an even bigger game, as the company announced today that they intend to release a brand new story pack this Autumn.

Titled Stellaris: Leviathans, the expansion will be Stellaris‘ first story pack (the Plantoids DLC pack didn’t add any story content) and it looks like it will add a great deal of new content to an already enormous game.

In Stellaris: Leviathans, the galaxy will be filled anew with adventure and challenge as your new and naïve space-faring empire comes face-to-face and ship-to-ship with a host of dangers and rewards.

• Guardians: Stationary societies that have built defenses throughout a system to protect something of great value. Do you dare seize their treasure?
• Enclaves: Independent outposts of traders or mercenaries who are willing to make a deal. Exchange resources or hire a small fleet to supplement your own.
• War In Heaven: Where will your fledgling empire lie if two ancient Fallen Empires decide to renew old grievances in a War in Heaven? Will you err on the side of caution and take a side with the stronger power, or will you strike at both whilst they are occupied with their own titanic struggle?
