Paradox Interactive Announces Stellaris: Ancient Relics DLC

Paradox Interactive has announced a new story DLC pack for their grand strategy sci-fi game called Stellaris: Ancient Relics, which will add two new Precursors for players to investigate, forgotten Relic Worlds to explore, and several archaeological treasures to unearth. Called Ancient Relics, the new DLC is focused on the past civilizations of the Stellaris universe, particularly the Baol and Zroni precursor civilizations. The Baol were a sprawling race of hivemind plantoid creatures while the Zroni were some of the most powerful psionics to have ever lived.

And now, Stellaris players get to unearth the history of both civilizations by collecting valuable ancient relics.
