Interested in what is coming in the next dlc.

I know the game isn't in the best place right now hopefully outstanding issues should be addressed before hand or at the very very least day 1 of the new dlc, The psionic expansion getting much closer has got me thinking about the DLC. Especially sense we are already in Q3 which likely means the DLC is in a month or two time. A few things we are know are coming psionic hiveminds, machines too in some fashion due to the situation shown in the steam page. We are also getting a new enclave? End of the Cycle Revamped ? I've noticed a pattern, that I am unsure will continue with these ascension reworks, but they seem to want to split the ascensions into 3, though this may not continue considering Carve your path into the Shroud Breaching the Shroud unfolds as a three-stage situation, where your decisions will determine your empire’s spiritual destiny and determine your attunement to specific Patrons in the Shroud. After you breach into the Shroud, you will have access to a new Shroud Panel, where you can visually analyze your attunement to the Shroud. The more you attune to specific Patrons, the more benefits and bonuses you will unlock. But maybe that is available to all 3 psionic ascensions, I hoping we get the normal psionic ascension enhance your mind, a new energy being ascension(changes not only your mind but body too), Unsure what the 3rd would be. Stellaris: Shadows of the Shroud will also feature New Origins, Civics, Government types, events, portraits, ships… and more! We are getting a lot of the normal features dlc features, but also a new shipset ( which has been confirmed to be mechanical) and portraits. The portraits I imagine will just be splits between the phenotypes. I speculate one of the new origins will be the one to allow machines to ascend psionically. I predict 2-3 origins for this dlc what will be the other, if one is for machines? I'm curious if we will get more species traits, I would like some minor psionic like traits, that don't require you to ascend.

Only Genetic and Machine Ascensions are spit into 3. Cybernetic and Synthetic are split into two. And even Machine and Genetic don't use the exact same pattern. So there is no real pattern, each Ascension does divisions in its own way.

We tried to make the revamped ascension paths "rhyme" without being mechanically identical.
