#Stellaris #paradoxinteractive #anniversary
Happy anniversary, Xenos! What is your favorite moment from the last 8 years of Stellaris?
My favorite Moment from the last 8 years of Stellaris is :
Playing Stellaris.
Clawing a game back from the brink after accidentally blowing up my own homeworld during the midgame.
Because overly ambitious mad-science wizardry has NEVER gone wrong in Stellaris(!)
Every new game is a new story about rise and fall of an civilisation. Every game is a favorite moment.
Could get the advisor as a playable portrait?
Fighting off 25x contingency at 2250. I star-ate my own systems and blew up planets full of unemployed. As contingency fleets were bearing down on me, my fortress line held long enough to press the button
Now I feel bad for scrapping this guy for 5 minerals
Agree... jajajaja
It's 2
Same 😂
2
It would be better representation of the past 8 years... if they clicked scrap button at the end 😂
Well, that's another trailer that hits hard!
look the over daddy is here
Montu is still close to me in this Galaxy or the next one

What did we expected?
From the depths of the Pacific
To the edge of the Galaxy
For as long
As I shall live
Best trailer for a video game ever, completely unbeatable.
Remind me what trailer was that?
@@bradleywoods1999 it's apocalypse trailer
@@bradleywoods1999 Stellaris Apocalypse DLC
I will forever defend the UNE
Bro now I can't just shut up this robotic guy 😭😭😭
Dont worry if you turn off tutorials in the settings menu, before you start a game he will not show
You can turn him off in the setting. Don't leave it on "tips" he will say too much.
Its easy. Blow him up when he appears in an astral rift.
I haven't played since 2018 and I need him... Can I mod a drill sergeant version of him? 😂
@@NorCalMtnBiker86 Gotta get that Hartman AI lol
1:50 the Stellaris multiverse is real
😮
So this is why it's so laggy
@@deeplerg7913 So I guess my console has been accounting for thousands of Stellaris galaxies and not the misbegotten demon-spawn I am hiding in my basement after picking a certain ascension perk.
We've been neighbors this time!?
Those are galaxies within one universe, not a multiverse.
That battlescene was one of the best crossovers Ive seen. Its worthy to be in an own TV-mini-series.
Congrats for the 8 years, Stellaris team!
Its those Red Unbidden guys it seens
I would love an anthology series of episodic sci fi stories set in a shared stellaris galaxy.
@@rickkybobby8118 *cough* Stellaris Invicta *cough*
*cough*
Stellaris Invicta *cough*
@@rickkybobby8118 Damn an anthology series like Love, Death and Robots would be insanely cool. So many themes to explore, different tones, from very uplifting to extremely grim. Damn. Now i want that. @Stellaris? ...please? I promise i buy all of the dlc and be a good consumer.
That battle against the unbidden tho... Don't think we've ever had an giant animated battle like that before in stellaris
I got Mass Effect 3 vibes from that scene. Not that I'm complaining!
It's not Unbidden, it's Aberrant, and also I love that robot assists Ashley Easterbrook, the blorg archon.
@@secondaryfrontsame thing
@@FonVegenFits even more when you see the different space ships on the other side, it looks like a coaltion of nations united against them
That part gave me goosebumps. It's exactly how I visualize those battles
The subtle Stellaris theme never fails to give me goosebumps
Spelling edit
Every single time.
Is this the same theme or is it altered?
@@TPGNutJam it's always a different Ost but at the end of basically of all osts is that little tune.
Girl 1: OMG the dude didn’t cry at Titanic!
Girl 2: Totally! Does he even have feelings?
New Remix of Stellaris Jingle: *drops*
Me: 😭
"Suddenly, in a painful moment of clarity, the nature of our existence is laid bare. A multiverse where thousands of galaxies like our own are locked in endless cycles of conflict."
"It begins, it ends, and then it begins again. Each time with trillions of lives hanging in the balance."
"So it is", a voice whispers, "and so it always shall be..."
What was will be, and what will be was.
Unfortunately the worm doesn’t love me anymore. Haven‘t seen him in over a year

@@nfzed there was an update a couple years back that made that event a lot more rare than it used to be. I used to get it nearly every game lol.
“Time is sight, gravity is desire.”
Every cinematic trailer like this leaves me wishing for a Stellaris series/movie
I mean, we have a dry lack of proper large scale sci-fi series to begin with.
Using Stellaris as a template would be great for a series, hell.. I mean i wished Starfield was Stellaris, but in space, and first person.. but no aliens and all that snaz sadly.. or politics.
@@White935No alien? How can you get those gorgeous different civilizations to begin with? It'd be so boring to see just human in every space in the universe
@_martian101to be fair, The Foundation did an excellent job of a human only galaxy.
This brings up the implications that Vir is not made by the player empire. Are they like some sort of muti dimensional intelligence that only wants to help people under the guise of a prototype robot? They might be the only entity in Stellaris that is benevolent force where as RIV is the opposite?
Also I feel like it was a miss opportunity to have the ui at the start reflect how it looked at launch and when we see again how it looks now,
I mean, VIR does appear in one of the astral rifts so the fact that it is multiversal is not really that new.
plot twist: VIR is actually an avatar of the Animator of Clay, an eternal machine given soul to guide and oversee the material universe.
@@SRMC23 Probably one of its apostle
VIR IS ULTIMA VIGILIS!
Have been playing Stellaris since 2016. Will be playing it till 2026 and beyond.
Epic. Fantastic work!
Will You talk about VIR, o red king?
The legend!! Love your vids, man.
Make a lore video about this little guy
:)
Anniversary videos like this are always a weird reminded of how much something as innocuous as a video game has been part of my life for so long. And I’ll never ever tired of hearing the Stellaris theme.
But also holy shit it’s been 8 years. 8!
Man come to think about it, my first ever game was Gran Turismo 2 and that game is from 1999
Stellaris needs to be a full-fledged television series, with 15 seasons with a full count of 25-30 episodes each season. Only that could even begin to do it justice.
Also when I saw the Unbidden rendered in a full cinematic sequences I screamed so loud my fiance asked if I was ok.
You know something is well made when you have an emotional reaction to it. Amazing.
The instant it said: "Here, let me show you."
I expected to see planet destruction and genocide of aliens...
I speak, directly after.
"It's vital to never get too low, however crushing a defeat..." Never abandon your game, no matter how hopeless the cause, because there is always a chance that you will prevail, by stroke of luck, or amazing idea. Feeling when you are on brink of defeat and come back from it is the most satisfying thing.
“Or too smug, even after an epic victory.” Just because you made a good game, doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to it because you “can do no wrong.”
@@feifeili1658 It happens mostly when you are so far ahead of the AI that fighting them isn't engaging anymore(and therefore, this approach actually not detrimental). Though when x25 crisis pop up it should wash out this smugness pretty fast.😁
After fighting against a giant devouring swarm while I was playing as rogue servitors, I feel this. They will have to scrap every last one of my machines before I let them touch my precious fleshies!
@@RetroCube With this kind of atitude, they stand no chance! Make sure to take Mechromancy AP so when you purge them, they will serve your organics as cybernetic zombies! ...though maybe out of sight, in factories and mines. Sight might be a bit disconcerting for biotrophies 🤔
-The UNE and the Commonwealth of Man alongside other premades on the galaxy map
-The Hegemony overseeing a fleet entering a Hyper Relay
-"fungoid spores" is pretty much a reference to the Blorg
-The Federation clashing with an Endgame Crisis (including titans, colossi and juggernauts with different species ships on the fleet)
-The Ruined Ringworld being a reference to the Cybrex precursors(and the contingency on min 1:30)
-The Toxoids salvaging debris from a battleground
-The Roccan Resistance beating MSI out of their homeworld with their battleship exploding in orbit
This trailer is so packed with references, i almost cry honestly. We dont have a canon Stellaris timeline but we sure do have an Stellaris Cinematic Universe canon timeline. off to those 10 years with VIR, i hope we get more big DLCs as complete as Machine Age or Utopia.
Thank you for summericing all those references. It made me emotional too.
Also at 0:44 is one of the overlod wallpapers
A brief flash of RIV in VIR's reflection, I believe!
Seing UNE ships destroying Aberrant ship is so fitting. I always take Defender of Galaxy when I'm playing United Nations of Earth.
Just as I thought that I've cured my Stellaris addiction, you decide to put out this banger of a trailer just to pull me back in 😖
Happy anniversary! I liked the callbacks to the previous DLC trailers. Even after an ungodly amount of hours, Stellaris is still my favourite game to date!
I love how there's references to past trailers sprinkled in there. Also, the animation is sooooo good.
That was...
simply beautiful.
Been playing since 2017 and this game has brought me nothing sort but happiness and joy. Thank you everyone in both the community and staff team for elevating this game to new heights every year! Happy 8th year anniversary everyone!
My favorite moment was the last stand me and my buddies had against the swarm and such a cinematic moment to share with people and we died horribly.
Many years ago Stellaris hit me hard when I got Pioneer Plaques event for the first time. Then I felt like my Earth empire was real. And after all our lives has passed, hundred years after our times. Humanity of future will really find them somewhere in the space. A small piece of our age. Message for aliens, that became message for our descendants. That was and still is a great memory for me. For a moment I was feeling like I'm a part of a great story, story of our civilization.
Stellaris is a great game. Not only a strategy game, but storytelling game. Game that can tell us not only some random story about random space nations, but also story of Humanity. Story that many of us dreamed when we were younger - exploring infinite space around us.
Thank you for amazing eight years, Stellaris Team.
The Stellaris theme is one of few things that gives me legit goosebumps and ethereal feelings of grandeur.
It's so well composed.
"I have seen countless civilizations rise...and fall."
But no matter how fleeting their existence, I welcome them ALL!
To a place in my CAREFULLY CURATED COLLECTION!
I really love this trailer, its by far the best work you've done with a cinematic. Im still here daydreaming one day Paradox announces a Stellaris movie or show because theres some real potential for that shown here!
I would love that too but unlike fallout or The last of us there aren’t enough people that even know Stellaris exists so there wouldn’t be to much money in it.
@@Donald5557_ thats very true
Remember, kids: If you miss a couple, they'll breed a couple more, and soon we'll be dealing with twice as many as before
Imagine they put VIR as a portrait for the 8th year anniversary
It started as a relatively straightforward space adventure, but turned into a sweeping space opera.
I was so bummed we didnt get a 7th anniversary trailer as i love the cinematics and music you do for them. Super stoked with this one. great job.
Oh my god the fleet battle with the Unbidden was incredible, I love actually being able to see those kinda battles. Reminds me of the ME3 cutscene with the coalition of everyone fighting the Reapers over Earth, one of my absolute favorite scenes of the trilogy.
I absolutely am jaw dropped by the little choral touch to the engines of the aquatic ships (And/or the crew doing a battle cry, hard to tell). It's sound design like 0:59 that sets Stellaris trailers apart from other games. It draws me in, makes me want to know more about the world of how these ships came to be and why they make that sound! For an 8th Anniversary Trailer in total, consider my socks blown off.
I love that bit, I like to think it's some sort of warcry from the strikecrafts pilots as they are soaring by
In general I'd love the music from this trailer to be released on its own same with the machine age trailer
You made me cry, thanks for everything, you made my life better with this game.
4000 hrs and counting. Heres to another 4000! In my top 3 games, ty Paradox
please release the background music- literally goosebumps every single time
Greetings once again, VIR. It has, truly, been a long time.
“…you know what? I may need your advice after all.”
"who created you? How long ago?" Like.. hes basically yhe oldest tech ever from the further reaches away many galaxies.. like how could u not?
Imagine playing for the first time and this is what it shows
I sincerely hope that we'll get a compilation of all the Stellaris main theme remixes.
This specific theme.... brings so much nostalgia...
Its been 8 years guys. Hope to see you here again for the 9th and thereafter
PLEASE STELLARIS CHANNEL MAKE A COMPILATION OF ALL STELLARIS MAIN THEMES FROM EVERY TRAILER
i've been watching every stellaris trailers from its launch and everytime they know how to touch a gamers' heart! amazing video!
Happy birthday Stellaris, it's been one hell of a ride🎉
I hope to see Stellaris in a drama someday. And I hope to meet that cute advisor as a Paragon in the game!
Actually beautiful, this is so well made and I love it!
What a beautiful anniversary Trailer, i absolutly love it!
HOLY COW this was epic! I just got back to this game after almost three years in hiatus and just came across this video today. Now I'm definitely glad I picked this game back up and look forward to see what the future has in store.
Thank you for this great story-generator ❤
Man that made me emotional. Seeing all those moments from other trailers and thins I recognize. It was an epicly beautiful trailer.
“I solemnly swear, to devote my life and abilities in defence of United Nations of the Earth…”
God I love that trailer, can never stop myself watching apocalypse when it pops up
good to see you guys back to the high quality of the nemesis trailer, epic thing you created here!
WELL DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL TRAILER AND BEAUTIFUL VIDEOGAME!!!!!!!!
When I was merely a child, in the year of 2016, my dad bought me this game. I told him, “Maybe I’ll play this when I’m older.”
I proceeded to play this game all the way into my adulthood, closing in on 1.5k hours. I was old enough!
I'm thinking of re-activating VIR
If you find the Advisor astral rift with RIV, completing it will reactivate VIR.
@@icyknightmare4592 and now I just bought Astral Planes (it was on sale anyway)
We need an animated series.
What not shown on screen: a 5-year timeskip of listening to VIR rambling afterwards.
Happy Birthday, Stellaris.
Thanks for existing.
Imagine a stellaris in VR, where we are in the eyes of the emperor and we watch the battles and constructions from our small scale of a living being. Imagine controlling your faction in stellaris as if you were truly in the universe. Watch the battles from an Imperial cruiser, receive diplomats in your court and be able to fully visit your palace, be able to fully visit your worlds, and be able to travel and give instructions to your advisors. You would be the supreme ruler, the tactical map would be available in your ship or imperial palace. You would have to go directly there as an emperor to sometimes resolve certain political crises, make certain decisions. Finally, a game like Stellaris, much more immersive, the same universe but in a completely different frame of reference. It's my dream, I hope to survive until such a game can exist one day I have hope and I cross my fingers. It would be so great to be able to visit living worlds at our level, see huge stars, black holes, battles, planets war, and run our empire from a human point of view. I would be willing to break the bank to go into debt to access this type of product.
Thank you for making us dream with stellaris, it’s magnificent.
honestly that'd be dope, even if it did result in games being... disconcertingly long.
We all fight together.
Nothing but praise to the sound/music people, genuinely got chills and emotional from the music and the space battle scene
Id love for the music to be dropped by itself on here
happy aniversary stelaris
i hope to see more in the future as always
and since you want us to love the advisor yall should have some event with him if we keep him ( i live for the stories and event )
love , someone with like 300 h of stelaris under his belt
Beautiful as always
Happy Aniversary, Stellaris!
On a side note... I never really thought about the tutorial bot. Like, who built him? Where did it originate from? Is it lost technology from the Fallen Empires or the precursors? I have questions.
Animation keeps getting better and better, and so does the game.
What a touching trailer! I started playing Stellaris almost a full year ago and it has grown to become one of my all time favorite games! Happy 8th anniversary everyone and here’s to a lot more! 🎉
This trailer get gave me goose bumps, thx Stellaris, Thx Paradox, for all this years
VIR, I wish there was more of you. I've had you as my phone notification for a long time now, and you're by far my favorite base-game advisor.
8 wonderful years of memories, 8 more years of stories to come!
Thank you
My chest feels tight every time I hear that Stellaris motif
Idk how, but everytime there is a fully animated Stellaris video, it has this insane top quality to it!!
I might come back to the game after being defeated many times by 25x crisis lol
TKS!!!! Happy anniversary
One of the most alive 8-year-old game tbh
Keep up the good work
I loved watching this, sure VI I'll keep you along for this ride!
This made me a little emotional lol, I've spent over 500 hours with this game and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. What an EPIC trailer and I'm looking forward to many more years, one of the very few games I will always come back to.
The titan laser sync to the music is cool 0:52
This is epic! Where can I find the soundtrack in this?
The quality of this trailer is massive and its just an banger
Amazing! This put a big smile on my face. Great work.
8 years already... damn time flies
I didn't join this roller coaster ride until 2020, and yet I have almost 4000 hours played today.
Modded, vanilla. Countless empires - from the most despotic authoritarian regimes to majestic kingdoms to bastions of freedom and equality.
I can't wait to see what you have planned for us next. Thanks for all the good times, and keep up the great work!
The Greater Terran Union will dominate its galaxy, Universe and the ones after that.
This is really well done and means so much to me as a player who's been playing this game since early days. Keep up the work and bring us more awesome updates in the future!
This trailer was both cute and heartwarming in a way. I like it. Keep up the good work!
Started playing my freshman year of high school, and I can confidently say this is one of, if not the best game I’ve ever played. Here’s to more years to come!
i've still got the 3rd anniversary posters as one of my desktop backgrounds, would love a new one of 8th
After almost 5,000 hours in this game, this gave me chills, thank you so much!
Also, when are we getting and Adviser Plushie? I think its needed now because that little dude needs a hug!
Love that Stellaris music theme at the end. So simple, but elegant, and brings wonder and joy to my heart.
Such a great leitmotif
4,321.8 hrs and counting. I've played the game since launch and I don't see myself ever putting it down. One of the greatest strategy games of all time.
My god, when the adviser flew into the game then the whole thing transitioned into a cutscene just blew my mind and brought tears to my eyes!
What an amazing cinematic, I cant believe its already been 8 years. I've tossed easily 1 Thousand hours into this and I'm still out there exploring the cosmos. Thanks for all the fun memories. I hope our journey continues forever more
Its been 5 years since I started playing the Stellaris on its 3th anniversary trailer.
Thank you for being one of the best RTS I have ever played. I'm excited for the future.
P.S. I think the Armies/Fleets expansion pack would be awesome in the future!
WE NEED A MOVIE OR A SERIES ASAP
Congrats for the anniversary, and thanks for the memories ! Lets go fot an other 8 years ! :)
That guy is literally 343 guilty spark but a little bit more sane
Whoever makes the Stellaris videos need a raise.
The advisor is at the same time a Stellaris mascot.
Your Cinematic is as good as Blizzard's best trailers.
I'm very impressed by the creativity of this trailer!
The transition between the gameplay to the cinematic is so seamless. Excellent job!
I still question how theese trailer tend to make me tear up. Cuddos regardless and lovely use of the bot that almost everyone shuts off.
Been here since the start. It has been an epic journey, ups and downs, but congratulations to us all!
