Of all the games announced this is the one that I'm most excited for. Its by Paradox Interactive who are my favourite studio and made Crusader Kings 2 and Europa Universalis 4. Both excellent games which I play almost exclusively on PC. Stellaris takes the engine into the future.
Its a Space 4X game, Exploration, Expansion, Exploit and Exterminate. You start as a race and guide your species to greatness in a procedurally generated galaxy. If you've played any Paradox games you'll know the level of depth and the quality we can look forward to.

Featuring deep strategic gameplay, an enormous selection of alien races and emergent storytelling, Stellaris has a deeply challenging system that rewards interstellar exploration as you traverse, discover, interact and learn more about the multitude of species you will encounter during your travels.
Etch your name across the cosmos by uncovering remote celestial outposts, and entire civilizations. Will you expand through war or walk the path of diplomacy to achieve your goals?
Main Features
- Discovery Events – Emergent Storytelling.
- Deep & Varied Exploration.
- Enormous procedural galaxies, containing thousands of planets.
- Numerous playable species, each with their own traits and engineering styles.
- Vast number of Unique Random Species.
- Advanced Diplomacy system.
- Ship Designer (even civilian ships can be customized).

One of the features I'm really looking forward to is creating federations where you can make complex alliances with different races allowing you to push your own agenda onto the galaxy.
Here are some alpha screenshots and for more info I'd suggest reading the dev diaries which go into detail about different aspects.
