Paradox Interactive, together with developers from Paradox Tinto, announced the announcement of a new large -scale strategy, named Project Caesar. The presentation will take place on May 8, 2025 at 16:00 Moscow time and will be available live on YouTube.
The project is positioned as a “new era for the global strategies genre” and is the result of more than a year development, during which the authors shared details through a series of developers diaries called Tinto Talks. The team actively attracted the community to discuss key mechanics, the features of gameplay and historical facts that indicates the desire of the studio to take into the interests of fans.
Although the official name of the game is not yet revealed, the community is increasingly sounding that the Project Caesar is the code name Europa Universalis v. This version is confirmed not only by the participation of the Paradox Tinto studio, which previously occupied by Europa Universalis IV, but also indirect mention of the start of the game period in 1337 year – at an earlier stage compared to EU4, which started in 1444. This may mean emphasis on key events, such as a centenary war and a plague epidemic.
Among the alleged innovations are updated estate management systems, trade and the formation of nations. The developers noted the possibility of dynamic development of states: players will be able, for example, to start Northumbriya, to form England, and then the UK, which emphasizes both the historical and alternative potential of the project.
