Paradox Interactive has confirmed that it’s going to reveal a model new grand technique recreation, codenamed Venture Caesar, subsequent week, describing it as a “new period for grand technique”, and there is motive to consider it could be Europa Universalis V.
The primary trailer for Venture Caesar, which most likely will not be the sport’s ultimate title, is outwardly set to debut on the official Europa Universalis YouTube channel (and never anyplace else, at time of writing) subsequent week.
Proper now, particulars about Venture Caesar are pretty skinny on the bottom. The slogan for the sport seems to be “Be Bold”, which may both confer with the sport itself or to Paradox’s method in creating it, I suppose.
If Venture Caesar in some way is not Europa Universalis V, however a brand new Historical Rome-set recreation fully, 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 widespread with a number of Paradox followers.
On the very least, the announcement trailer for Venture Caesar (nicely, the announcement for the announcement, anyway) is accompanied by hashtags like #GrandStrategy and #StrategyGaming, so it is a fairly secure wager as to what style Venture Caesar will match into.
If it isn’t Europa Universalis V, I would a minimum of think about it’s going to 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 a lot of the method there.
Nonetheless, we’ll have to attend till subsequent Thursday, which is when the primary trailer for Venture Caesar will arrive, to seek out out. You’ll be able to, should you 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 Venture 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 wanting slightly dire for Paradox.
In any case, we’ll uncover what Venture Caesar is on Thursday, Could eighth, when the debut trailer can be launched at 12pm Japanese on the official Europa Universalis YouTube channel.
