Stellaris: Season 09 completes on November 25th with the Infernals Species Pack and the 4.2 ‘Corvus’ update.

Brought to you by Forgotten Empires in close collaboration with Paradox Development Studios, our most ambitious Species Pack so far examines extremophile life bathing in the heat of fiery volcanic worlds.

The United Volcanoes of Earth

In the Cosmic Dawn origin, your species roamed the stars in the early days of the galaxy. 

Trapped as the planets cooled, recent volcanic activity freed some of your people. Now it is time to look for other survivors across the stars.

The very star that brought life to your planet has become a threat in the Red Giant origin. 

As it expands and overheats the system, your empire can embrace this change or gain strength through adversity.

You’re my guiding light

The Infernals Species Pack adds the Galactic Hyperthermia crisis path, terraforming on a grander scale.

The universe began in fire, but has cooled down into a dark and hostile place. It’s time to fix that.

• Two new Origins:

  • Cosmic Dawn

  • Red Giant

• Galactic Hyperthermia Crisis Path

• Four new Civics:

  • Fire Cult

  • Scorched World Heralds / Pyromanic Instinct

  • Galvanic Empire / Biometallic Cartel / Galvanic Synthesis

  • Planet Forgers / Planetary Architects / Volcanic Nesting / Thermal Optimizers

• Volcanic Planets and Habitability Preference

• Thermophile Mechanics

• Infernal Species Traits

• 10 Infernal Species Portraits

• Infernal Shipset

• Infernal Diplomatic Room, City Set, Advisor, Flag Emblems, and more.

Dev Diary Schedule

The Infernals Species Pack is included as part of Stellaris: Season 09

On October 23, 1942, the M4 Sherman medium tank first saw combat in the North African campaign, at the Second Battle of El Alamein. The British were the first to receive these American vehicles to use them against Rommel's Afrika Korps.

Although the Sherman was inferior in armor protection and firepower to the later German Tiger Is and Panthers, its ease of production and reliability played a key role in the Allied victory. The first combat results in Africa proved that the M4 would become one of the main tanks of the Second World War.

From October 23rd (13:00 UTC) to October 29th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.


For completing 5 and 7 out of the 9 tasks, you will receive unique decal for American ground vehicles, and for 8 completed tasks, a unique camouflage for the M4A1 (76) W.

The Playtest for Cinderia is now open for sign-ups!
You can click the Request Access button to join — we’ll be granting access to players in waves.

This Playtest will remain open for a long period, so feel free to jump in anytime and share your feedback with us.
In this build, you’ll be able to experience:

• 4 playable characters

• 3 available chapters

• Several in-run progression systems that are functional but still being polished

Please note that many other parts of the game — including most music and sound effects, some meta-progression systems, as well as UI, environments, and story content — are still in early development and not yet complete.

Also, save data from this Playtest will not carry over to the full release.
Since this is a work-in-progress build, you may encounter bugs, unfinished features, or other rough edges along the way.

Hey everyone!

Thanks to Felix, we're pushing another update for Lyca that improves things significantly under the hood:
- Performance overhaul: The terrain system has been reworked into a tile-based system that drastically improves performance, especially on lower-end PCs
- Controller support overhaul: The controller functionality has been completely reworked to make it much smoother and intuitive to play!
- Other smaller fixes and tweaks

This update brings the Steam (Windows) version up to date with the Switch version.
Speaking of which,

Lyca is now available on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2)! If you're wanting to relax, run through a meadow as a dog (or cat) and listen to chill lo-fi music, you can now do it on the go! (or in your bed or couch or wherever you play your Switch). It's been a dream of mine to have my game on the Switch, so I'm really grateful to be able to achieve that today! This couldn't have happened without Felix, who handled all of the porting, and Pretty Soon, who are handling the testing and publishing. But most of all, it's thanks to all of you, the players, who have supported the game and helped get it where it is now!

See you all soon,

- Shaun (dev)

• Power category added to stats.
  
• Area damage added to onboard combat (items behind line of fire).
  
• Fix: Worker stats, human off duty count not working.

• Stage 4 - Outskirts:

  • Updated Ranger enemies with red highlights to improve visibility against the environment.
