Let a wave of new customizable options for your empire crash into Stellaris, with a treasure trove of new species portraits, ship set, origins and more.

Strap on your fins and tank, and take a deep dive into the marine world of the Aquatics Species Pack with:

ALL NEW ORIGINS


  • Here be Dragons!: This ancient mythical beast stalks your home world, it’s deep sage blue scales orbiting your humble kingdom. Your relationship with this proud creature will determine the lengths she will be willing to go to either defend or destroy you… you’d be wise to avoid displeasing it.

  • Ocean Paradise: These peaceful civilizations lead a peaceful life in a bountiful environment. With no natural enemies as well as food deposits and bonuses, enjoy unhindered growth and opulence.

NEW TRAIT

  • Aquatic: When species evolve to thrive on ocean worlds, they’re also the stereotypical “fish out of water” on others.

NEW CIVIC

  • Anglers: The bounties of the sea: fresh seafood and rare pearls are but some of the benefits of a seafarer's life. Visit the agriculture districts to cash in on these valuable consumer goods.

NEW ASCENSION PERK

  • Hydrocentric: Ever carry something heavy underwater? It’s easier, right? When you spend most of your time underwater, you figure out cheaper and faster methods of modifying your environment. Terraform planets into oceanic worlds, or make them bigger by harvesting water from other planets. Build the sandcastles of space!

COSMETICS


  • New ship set with a sleek look, designed to help you yacht your way through space.
  • New Aquatics Dragon: A new, majestic space dragon will now grace the stars.
  • New Advisor: Sail the stars alongside the Seafarer advisor voice, inspired by high-seas adventure fiction.
  • 15 new aquatics portraits to help you embrace your fishy new existence

Do not purchase Stellaris. It is not possible to complete a game of Stellaris due to several concurrent issues. The autosave functionality will eventually start to crash your game, becoming a guarantee in the last

Sea creatures in glowy spaceships sing pirate shanties Great we finally have aquatics in the game. The portraits are diverse and pretty, the ships ornate and sleek. Both origins are solid, I love Ocean Paradise for

I love the species portraits, and the shipset + room + city combo is amazing, this DLC adds a lot to the game. I would buy this again if I didn't have it. This is one of my favorite current species packs.

8/10 Good DLC. Aquatics are pretty fun to play as, they have the coolest shipset in the game and the origins are nice. Adds a new trait, civic, and cityscape, alongside the hyrdocentric asenscion perk . As with all

Aquatics is NOT worth it anymore. Aquatics is the first of the "bigger" Species Packs that actually adds something to the experience of the game. Because while Plantoids just adds well a species, shipset and trait,

All high-quality stuff here. I quite like how fluid the theming is, allowing you to make any species Aquatic - perhaps your mermaids use a Humanoid portrait. I use the bubbly ship set for one of my oldest species.
