Next week, Paradox Interactive, the acclaimed developer behind Stellaris and Crusader Kings 3, is gearing up to unveil an "ambitious" new project. With a rich history of crafting strategy games that span from the Roman Empire to the stars, Paradox is poised to introduce the next major title in this beloved genre.
The highly anticipated game, codenamed "Caesar," has been the subject of much discussion on the studio's forums through a series of "Tinto Talks" developer diaries. These sessions have actively engaged the community, gathering feedback on feature ideas, key game systems, and historical research. Now, the moment has arrived to reveal Caesar to the world.
The latest Tinto Talks, named after the Barcelona-based Studio Tinto, delved into the mechanics of Protestant religions and the "final situation involving all Western Christian confessions, the War of Religions." This discussion pertains to their "entirely super-top-secret game with the codename Project Caesar."
Adding to the intrigue, the announcement video is set to premiere on the official Europa Universalis YouTube channel. This has led many fans to speculate that the mysterious project could be a new addition to the Europa Universalis series. However, no definitive information has been confirmed yet.
Speculation is rife among the fanbase, with many on Reddit and other platforms suggesting that while the Dev Diaries haven't explicitly called it EU5, the hints strongly imply a connection to Europa Universalis. "Dev Diaries haven't called it EU5 but everything we have been teased thus far heavily implies it," reminded one player. Another, in response to the announcement video's placement, teased: "There might've been clues along the way huh." A third user explained, "I mean, it was an open secret for over a year thanks to the Tinto Talks Threads on Paradox forums."
To uncover the truth behind the rumors and witness the unveiling of this new era in grand strategy gaming, tune into Paradox's video on May 8, 2025, at 9am PDT (12pm EDT, 5pm UK time).
The excitement is palpable, especially given the success of the last Europa Universalis game. IGN awarded Europa Universalis 4 a stellar 8.9/10, praising it for bringing "accessibility and flexibility to the strategy series without compromising its complexity."
