What’s the point of forging an eternal space empire if you’re not around to see it? Why let a pesky thing like mortality ruin your timeless dominion over the cosmos? Such things don’t concernStellaris’s newest band of ramblin' shamblin' undead aliens, The Necroids, descending upon the galaxy in today’s new Species Pack. ‘Tis the season for an undead apocalypse, after all.

As a simple species pack and not a full-blown expansion, that’s about it for the Necroids DLC. As a nice bonus, however, today also brings in the 2.8 “Butler” update. True to its name, thepatch notesinclude a massive list of bug fixes, AI improvements, tweaks and changes. Most important of all, however, are “greatly improved startup and load times”.
