Paradox Hints at New Grand Strategy Game, Fans Speculate

Next week, Paradox Interactive, the renowned developer behind Stellaris and Crusader Kings 3, has promised to unveil a new project they describe as "ambitious." Although the team has kept details under wraps, they've hinted that this new title will continue their 25-year legacy of crafting strategy games that span from the Roman Empire to the stars. The eagerly anticipated announcement will reveal what's been known only by its codename, "Caesar."

The mysterious game has been the subject of numerous "Tinto Talks" developer diaries on Paradox's forums, where the community has actively engaged with feature ideas, key game systems, and historical research. Now, Paradox is ready to introduce Caesar to the world. The latest diary, named after the Barcelona-based Studio Tinto developing the game, delved into the mechanics of Protestant religions and the "War of Religions," part of the "entirely super-top-secret game with the codename Project Caesar."

Hints suggest that this new project might be a new installment in the Europa Universalis series, as the announcement video is set to premiere on the official Europa Universalis YouTube channel. Despite the lack of official confirmation, fans are buzzing with speculation, with many believing it to be connected to Europa Universalis.

To uncover the truth behind these rumors, tune into Paradox's video premiere at 9am PDT (12pm EDT, 5pm UK time) on May 8, 2025, and witness "a new era for grand strategy."

IGN's review of the previous Europa Universalis game, Europa Universalis 4, awarded it a score of 8.9/10, praising its ability to "bring accessibility and flexibility to the strategy series without compromising its complexity."
