A quarter century after the release of the historical grand strategy game that launched an empire, the Europa Universalis enters a dramatic new era with Europa Universalis V. Over a decade after the release of the last Europa Universalis title, Paradox Interactive’s flagship historical series about the early modern world is being updated for a new generation.

Paradox Interactive, a premier publisher of strategy games, has finally announced Europa Universalis V, which Paradox Tinto has developed over the past five years. With 25 years of gaming history, this new title will build on that tradition to deliver the same captivating empire-building and alternate histories that have been the hallmark of Paradox’s grand strategy games.

Per Paradox Tinto, Europa Universalis V has been crafted with the devoted Paradox fan in mind. The studio has worked to incorporate feedback from the fan community over a year of public discussion. Europa Universalis V  is said to draw inspiration from the latest generation of Paradox historical titles,  expanding the range of possibilities available for the largest and most detailed Europa Universalis game ever made.

During the announcement, Paradox and Paradox Tinto dove into features that players can expect. Which you can find listed below.

Europa Universalis V, From Paradox Interactive, Includes These Key Features:
  • A New and Larger Map:
    Using a more accurate map projection to reflect the size of the continents better, Europa Universalis V lets you choose from hundreds of different societies. Start as a mighty emperor, a local chieftain, or a warlord anywhere on earth. A more detailed map allows for a greater number of nations and more varied topographical features.

  • A Longer Time Scale:
    The game’s campaign starts in 1337, the year of the opening of the Hundred Years’ War – the great struggle over the French crown that marked the zenith of the late Medieval era. Lead your nation through the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and other historical ages, choosing how you will adjust to an ever-changing world.

  • Population-Based System:
    Departing from the familiar province-focused system of earlier games in the series, Europa Universals V represents the population of each province in detail. Manage cultural and religious tensions in your realm, deal with estates as they wax and wane in power, and meet the basic and luxury demands of this varied population.

  • Thousands of Historical Events:
    Watch history unfold before you as the great moments of the past make their mark on your game. Dynamically responding to the game situation, these historical events challenge players to repeat or improve on the great accomplishments of the past.

  • Detailed Production and Trade System:
    Build farms, plantations, crafting buildings, and factories to provide goods to satisfy your economic and military needs. Or, if your nation can’t provide the things you need, trade for them from neighboring nations. Some buildings require specific goods to be in supply, so you either invest in new industries or make a deal with your neighbors. Use roads, ports, and fleets to expand your trading region and enrich your nation by managing the world’s wealth.

  • Design a Nation to Suit Your Situation:
    Adopt policies and laws to adapt to your situation as you discover new technologies and ideas. Move towards greater centralization or a looser power-sharing arrangement. Build an army based on masses of manpower or a more elite professional force. Will you be tolerant of other faiths and cultures or advocate for a single faith and culture? A world of possibilities awaits you.

  • Deep Military and Diplomatic Systems:
    Dominate the world through either sword or pen. Rally mercenaries, levies, or professional soldiers to your flag as you cut a blood path through history. But be careful! A bloody war fought with levies has a direct impact on your population. Consider a lighter touch, using royal marriages, trade treaties, and alliances to expand your power and preserve peace.
