Hearts of Iron 5?

[RealCoolplays]

It has been a few years since this game has received a major update, i was wondering that is there ever going to be a Hearts of Iron 5? I know paradox just got around to updating crusader kings, but i feel the game can be improved upon if a Hearts of Iron 5 were to come out.

They're still working on Hoi4 and creating DLC for it. So I don't expect a hoi5 in the near future. But I guess they won't stop with this series and eventually create a hoi5 in the future.

[Charmyzard]

No. Barbarossa is the next big DLC just in the scale you're expecting.
Railroads for supplies (expect pain), tank designer (as if the Ship Designer wasn't nightmarish enough..), Soviet tree and events rework, hopefuly, HOPEFULY, a Mongolia focus tree?

Yep, HOI V doesn't sound like a possibility just yet with such a major DLC

[AdmiralPiett]

They waited 8 years after CK2 to release CK3. VIC3 will be AT LEAST 11 years after VIC2. EU4 is in its 8th year and still going......erm......"strong"


How can you expect HOI5 only 5 years after HOI4's release?

[Mr_Faorry]

What do you mean "a few years since this game has received a major update"? It received not one but two major dlc last year and one major dlc each of the two previous years before that.
Not to mention that they're currently running the Dev Diaries for the next major dlc which is all half the forums are talking about and would be night impossible to not know about.

the terms of "major dlc" is used wrong here buddy.
this game is a spreadsheet simulator.
4-5 focus trees arent even 20h work manpower.
look at their previous tree mods, they look which mods are good and just rip off half of it.
a major dlc in this game has the same effort like a bugfix patch in a proper game.

Just jumping in here

That's still not a reason to replace an only 5 year old game in a genre such as this

I certainly wouldn't be calling them minor dlc as that would be things like the armour packs and such, so yeah they're major dlc as they add entirely new systems to the game along with new content as well as being significantly larger than the minor ones.

But lets for the sake of argument pretend that they are minor dlc, as the guy above me said "that's still not a reason to replace an only 5 year old game in a genre such as this".

I doubt if they will do it, if they did wish they remake the very first one and polish it. The tech trees in the first series was pretty darn good and complex.

> They skipped Finland in upcoming DLC because of "lack of time".
> There are still bugs and exploits in Battle of the Bosporus that are known from release. (for example infinite PP as Turkey)

Paradox clearly don't want to carry on with this mess anymore. Hearts of Iron 5 is coming sooner than we think. They'll release one last DLC for Italy after Barbarossa and in 2022 they will announce HoI5 I almost sure.

[Maximus]

you should read the dev diaries and forum posts more. The devs intend to support this game for a long time, they already declared there will be future DLCs for finland, italy, middle east, south america, scandinavia. Considering they do around 1 DLC per year, looks like hoi4 has atleast 4 more years ahead of it

[Starred109]

I would hope that they make dlcs and stuff for the rest of the countries in the game, lord know they need them. I mean, why wouldn't I want to try and conquer the world with Liberia or Paraguay?

[Arotished]

PXD is not gonna start on HOIV before they have wasted resources, time, money and energy making forcus three for every single nation.

[hebel]

hmmm

[Rexbert]

> just announced victoria III
> immediate "when is hearts of iron 5"

probably after ck3 is fleshed out and vicky 3 has had its time to shine, so, uhhh... how does half-a-decade sound? pdx's roadmap for this game is at LEAST three more years of content at the pace they work, but they could easily do more.

[JohnWayne]

It’s going to be long time till we get a hoi5
