Project Cesar Confirmed to be Europa Universalis 5 - mxdwn Games

Published 1 day ago2 minute read


A cinematic announcement trailer was released, inspiring notes of ambition, creation, and exploration in fans of the franchise, now famously ending in the two words “be ambitious!” Europa Universalis 5 is an ambitious improvement and change compared to Europa Universalis 4, with a significantly larger map to include more provinces, a revamped economic system, military system, and more.

Following the release of the official trailer, major creators of the game released videos showcasing gameplay, mechanics, and later even breaking down their favorite aspects of the game, as well as offering criticism. A number of content creators, such as The Red Hawk, have confirmed they are in communication with staff working on Europa Universalis 5 and that any community feedback they see will be relayed to the developers.

A released video on the Europa Universalis 5 revealed the immense scope of the project. Paradox wanted to cater to every playstyle and mechanic that someone could want from a grand strategy game, which led to the game being in development for five years. In the same video, it was confirmed that the start year was set in stone in 1337, just prior to the black plague.

IGN said, “I’ve never seen anything like the just announced Europa Universalis 5… if the previous games in the franchise were the undergrad, this is a PHD game.” A sentiment that has been echoed by creators and the community, who are appalled at just how expansive the game is. The new features have forced even experienced players to adjust and learn new mechanics from scratch. 

The level of details, number of features, graphical fidelity, and a number of other additions have led to performance issues and concerns of optimization. However, Paradox Interactive has already indicated they are aware of the concerns and other criticisms of the game, which they are rapidly working to improve prior to the game’s launch date, which is still to be determined.
