NOVEMBER 4

Pre-ordering is now available, premium addition includes 4 DLCs:
  • Sacred Sites Instant Unlock: Upon purchasing the Premium Edition, you will receive a cosmetic pack that adds eight historical holy sites to the Europa Universalis V game map.
  • Fate of the Phoenix: Restore and revive Roman power as the Byzantine Empire in this Immersion Pack. It includes new means to stand up against the rising Ottoman threat in Anatolia, chances to reunite a broken Christian church and maybe even restore the glory that once was Rome.
  • Across the Pillars: Drop yourself into the climactic struggle for the future of the Iberian peninsula in this Chronicle Pack, as a rising Castile asserts itself to evict the last successors of Moorish dominance in the region. Or, as Morocco, beat back the armies from the north and re-establish your dominance over the strategically vital Strait of Gibraltar.
  • The Auld Alliance: This Chronicle Pack adds new historical content and flavor for France and Scotland, two nations bound together by a mutual distrust of the English crown. Consolidate your power by uniting these divided realms and explore unique historical situations for each.

Seems very early for a release. Based on the version streamers received some time ago, I was expecting it to be out beginning of 2026 at earliest
 
I just wonder is only stellaris victim off paradox not being able to optimize games or its also an issue on other games ck or eu? (also balance)

as much as like stellaris but 4.0 was something else

Imagine not going for Nov 11th for the start date memes. Absolute state of Paradox tbh.

I was thinking 2026 as well which is why in a previous post I said I was hoping for an early summer release because I figured that would be the absolute earliest we'd be getting it.

All Paradox games have some sort of performance issues, especially mid-to late game. I think Stellaris' are worse because they keep completely changing the way the game's played, whereas Eu4/HoI4 is mostly just adding mission/focus trees and maybe a minor new system.
 
>DLC already anounced

Paradox is alive and well good to see

Not gonna pre-order for obvious reasons, but will wishlist it to get once out.
 
i wouldnt pre order any game in general let alone DLCs, i just hope paradox will fix up stellaris before pushing for the next dlc. Good to know that all games some what suffer under there old engine that allows solo core only. (they to lazy to update bc to much work)
I hope they just make stellaris 2. Game is fucked beyond repair and all the revamps have made it worse. Original game had problems but it was playable.
 
No preordering bros I feel weak.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Mark my words that the release will be an utter stinker, too many overlapping bloat mechanics down to the last autistic snca atom, too many devs on Spanish siesta sipping sangria for it not to be shitcoded, DISASTER.

Imagine actually paying for this shit; I consider doing so at anything above sale price to be financial cuckoldry, because the only rational excuse is that it's getting you off somehow, because why the fuck else would you commit economic self harm like that? Can anyone actually mercantile bullshit because I bet they can't.
Could never be me, and it better not be any of you other bastards either.

Are you naturally a pessimistic faggot, or is it an affectation driven by contrarianism?

Congrats, you still get to do the ironman Basileus run.

Stellaris was one of the best 4X games ever made. No other game has as many customization options and strategies.

Is is still great? Dunno, they completely changed the game like 5 times since I last played.
 
If the Johan team didn't develop Vic3, which Paradox team did?
