Paradox Interactive has confirmed that it’ll reveal a model new grand technique recreation, codenamed Mission Caesar, subsequent week, describing it as a “new period for grand technique”, and there is purpose to imagine it could be Europa Universalis V.
The primary trailer for Mission Caesar, which most likely will not be the sport’s ultimate identify, is seemingly set to debut on the official Europa Universalis YouTube channel (and never anyplace else, at time of writing) subsequent week.
Proper now, particulars about Mission Caesar are pretty skinny on the bottom. The slogan for the sport seems to be “Be Bold”, which might both seek advice from the sport itself or to Paradox’s strategy in creating it, I suppose.
If Mission Caesar in some way is not Europa Universalis V, however a brand new Historic Rome-set recreation solely, it will not be Paradox’s first effort on this space. Its final, Imperator: Rome, was launched in 2019, though it hasn’t precisely confirmed standard with quite a lot of Paradox followers.
On the very least, the announcement trailer for Mission Caesar (effectively, the announcement for the announcement, anyway) is accompanied by hashtags like #GrandStrategy and #StrategyGaming, so it is a fairly secure guess as to what style Mission Caesar will match into.
If it isn’t Europa Universalis V, I would not less than think about it will be an analogous prospect to Paradox’s different grand technique video games; think about Hearts of Iron IV, Victoria III, or Crusader Kings III with a decidedly extra Roman bent and also you’re most likely many of the method there.
Nonetheless, we’ll have to attend till subsequent Thursday, which is when the primary trailer for Mission Caesar will arrive, to search out out. You’ll be able to, if you happen to like, take a look at the announcement-of-the-announcement right here, though there’s not a lot to go on.
It has been a wierd couple of years for Paradox. The studio seemingly wants Mission Caesar to be an uncontroversial hit; with the console variations of the much-maligned Cities: Skylines 2 nonetheless absent and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 not due till October, issues are trying just a little dire for Paradox.
In any case, we’ll uncover what Mission Caesar is on Thursday, Might eighth, when the debut trailer might be launched at 12pm Japanese on the official Europa Universalis YouTube channel.
