Paradox Interactive announces more DLC (get that shocked look off your face) for Stellaris, as the new BioGenesis expansion is now available for the Windows sci-fi grand strategy game. This is available on GOG.com* and Steam and is also part of the Season 09 - Expansion Pass, so you may have purchased it already. The add-on is accompanied by a new "Phoenix" update that rises from the ashes for free for all owners of the game. A big update on Steam has the details and a new Biogenesis Release Trailer. Here's a bit:

BioGenesis, the first episode in Stellaris: Season 09, allows you to step into the role of a master geneticist, sculpting the galaxy to your design with living ships, engineered ecosystems, and enhanced species. Forge new paths with unparalleled bioengineering tools to create a civilization that thrives on adaptability and evolution – or exploit these tools to dominate the stars.

But beware, the wonders of life may harbor unforeseen dangers, including ancient threats lurking in the depths of space. The line between creator and creation blurs as you unravel the mysteries of life itself, unlocking the power to forge a living weapon capable of reshaping the galaxy – or devouring it.
