Paradox Interactive has revealed that a new expansion is on the way for Stellaris, as players will soon experience space in the Astral Planes. As the name suggests, you'll be traversing through a new region of space within this version of their universe that will take you into alternate dimensions. What will they hold for you as you explore regions that are both familiar and completely different at the same time? Are things better on the other side than they are where you're at? The team didn't put a release date on it, only signifying we're getting it before year's end. For now, we have more dev notes and a trailer for you here.
