Necroid Horde Spreads Across the Galaxy

Extra-Galactic Hordes of Undead have been detected infesting the cores of galaxies across the multiverse! From now, until November 1st, participate in fighting back the Necroid Invasion on the Stellaris Official Discord for a chance to win cool prizes, and shop on Steam to get great deals on Stellaris and Stellaris DLCs! Check out our Steam Scream Fest Darkest Timeline Bundle and get a great start on your Stellaris Collection! Bundle Includes:

• Stellaris
• Nemesis
• Apocalypse
• Necroids

"The void is dark and full of dangers; somewhere between the stars, the Lords of the Dead are stirring. Their fate - and that of the galaxy - is in your hands with this horrifying bundle!"

How does Survival Mode work?

The first step is to Subscribe to the Necroid Invasion mod and add it to your mod playlist. The Necroid Invasion will spawn in the Galactic Core. The Undead are a crisis that will affect the entire galaxy. Every 5 years, they will build up enough psychic energy to control a wave of ships. This wave of ships will then attack all the empires in the galaxy and grows increasingly stronger as the game progresses. Your only hope is to survive long enough that the invasion exhausts their psychic energy and falls dormant.

Thats it?

But wait, theres more! Starting today we will be running a Necroid Invasion tournament! Fight back the Undead Invaders with up to 11 other players in Community-hosted multiplayer sessions. The top 36 players (by Victory Score) will progress to the semi-finals, with 4 players from each of those games advancing to the streamed final. The top 3 scoring players in the Finals will receive a copy of Overlord and Toxoids! The top 6 scoring players in the final will be invited to a sit-down with some of the Stellaris Devs!

Two Ways to Win

There are two ways to win prizes during this event: Join the discord, and get the Necroid Hunter role. Winners will be randomly selected from those that have the role on November 1st. The other way is to compete in the Necroid Invasion Mod Tournament!
