Space jam: Stellaris is out May 9

Europa Universalis IV follow up

Recommended Videos

Paradox’s space-is-the-place grand strategy game Stellaris has a firm release date, announced last night during the company’s live-streamed event. It’s beating Hearts of Iron IV out the gate by about a month, which apparently is not as big of a cannibalization risk as I, a not-businessman (I’m a business, man), would imagine. Though a lot of Paradox fans dig all the titles, I get going wider, World War II and space exploration have distinct enough appeal.

To reiterate, Stellaris is out May 9 and looks like it could be a good intro-to-“map-games” with its less historical bent and focus on accessibility. Maybe it will “Make space great again” as the Trump-inspired red caps the company gave out last night profess.
