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, 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
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!
"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.”

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.
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!
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.
"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!
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!
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.
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!
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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! 🎉
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
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
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!
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!
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
Well... I've always felt bad for the guy, I really don't know why, since he's a tutorial guide. So I usually just ask him to say the essentials, even though I already know them extensively. But that aside, there's no specific favorite moment of mine. Every playthrough had its special flare, doesn't matter how many times I play as the same exact empire. Thanks Stellaris for making my childhood imagination come somewhat true.
Я в последние разы всегда слушаю этого парня полностью. Без его комментариев эта игра становится самым лучшим симулятором Excel. Ну вот кто ещё в вашей жизни скажет вам следующее: "таким образом мы, в аллегорическом смысле, убьём одним воображаемым выстрелом двух метафорических млекопитающих". Кто ещё будет так искренне радоваться, когда вы построите на вашей домашней планете первое сооружение? Второй научный корабль? Или же когда вы застолбите свою первую звёздную систему? Без этого парня я больше не могу играть.
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!
Stellaris is the best game ever made by pdx. I dread the day they announce it come to an end and new stellaris will appear. Stellaris is like the new civic narural design. It can’t be improved
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

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!

Paradox make a series already or a movie :P you have the aliens and the lore!
This trailer get gave me goose bumps, thx Stellaris, Thx Paradox, for all this years
Wow! Great audio engineering
I am inclined to agree, truly, this epic space melody reverberates my skull in a pleasant manner!
Well... I've always felt bad for the guy, I really don't know why, since he's a tutorial guide. So I usually just ask him to say the essentials, even though I already know them extensively.
But that aside, there's no specific favorite moment of mine. Every playthrough had its special flare, doesn't matter how many times I play as the same exact empire. Thanks Stellaris for making my childhood imagination come somewhat true.
Should make a movie, that was a grand anniversary trailer.
He could sing more songs than 1.
Daisy, Daisy Daisy, give me your answer, do.
Я в последние разы всегда слушаю этого парня полностью. Без его комментариев эта игра становится самым лучшим симулятором Excel. Ну вот кто ещё в вашей жизни скажет вам следующее: "таким образом мы, в аллегорическом смысле, убьём одним воображаемым выстрелом двух метафорических млекопитающих". Кто ещё будет так искренне радоваться, когда вы построите на вашей домашней планете первое сооружение? Второй научный корабль? Или же когда вы застолбите свою первую звёздную систему? Без этого парня я больше не могу играть.
This trailer was both cute and heartwarming in a way. I like it. Keep up the good work!
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!
Christ 8 years. We've been playing this game for 8 years. Just checked there and i'm currently on 986.5 hours....
My chest feels tight every time I hear that Stellaris motif
8 years already... damn time flies
Few hours ago Advisor popped in and activated itself automatically for me. I was wondering what is going on but now I understand 😂
Stellaris is the best game ever made by pdx. I dread the day they announce it come to an end and new stellaris will appear.
Stellaris is like the new civic narural design. It can’t be improved
I play since September 2017.
I'm gonna be honest that I heard VIR only a few times, but I like to imagine that it was always next to my side. 07
Never thought I'd fall in love with a game like Stellaris, yet here we are.
This trailer should be shown in theatres
