EU5 coming November 7th?

[Kasjodor]

Have you seen what Paradox published on X on May 16th? I can't post the image here, but take a look... Europa Universalis on X service: PDX post on X [t.co]

give us EU5 or draw 25

In my opinion, though it's just a guess, the game will come out on November 7th this year. The number 25 corresponds to 25 weeks from the 16th, which will be exactly November 7th.

Of course I'm just taking a shot in the dark, but the date makes sense because it's already listed as "coming soon" on Steam, though the game needs improvements. They could push it to spring next year, but probably, like every developer, they're afraid of the GTA VI period, so autumn is ideal, with holidays etc. That's when major productions are most commonly released.

This would also make sense regarding the state of the game, as it's unfinished, but they have a whole half year. I think it will be sometime during this autumn period.

What do you think?

Its just baseless speculation. With similar arguments you could propose almost any date within the next 2-12 months. I would say that Nov 7th is rather unlikely, because it is a friday.

We can assume it will be available for christmas season. I would say 2026 is too far off.

Case in point:

On announcment day, 126 Tinto Talks posts had been posted (62 "main" TTs, 30 Tinto Maps, and 16 Tinto Flavours.) Which could mean that the game will release 126 days after the announcment, ie on the 11th of September.

Or maybe we will have the game when the number of total posts will have reached the number of days between announcment and release. Given 3 posts a week (1 main TT and 2 flavour posts), we can see that the lines cross at x=189. 189 days after the announcment is on the 13th of November. Given that the 13 of November 1312 is the birth date of Edward III, the starting king of England in 1337, I am now convinced that the game will release on that day.


(Please don't bother nitpicking the above. The calculations are very possibly wrong because I made them in 5 minutes, I "forgot" Saturday buildings and map feedbacks, and I'm sure there are many more issues. This was just an exercise in "making the numbers say something".)

I would bet its in christmas season as well, so Paradox can repeat VIC3 launch again by dropping a bareley playable pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and send their team to vacation for a couple of months.

Wrong game. EU4's start date is November 11th, 1444, one day after the Battle of Varna. EU5 begins on April 1st, 1337, right at the beginning of the Hundred Years' War.
