Now that the dust has settled, it’s time to take a moment to appreciate what the Europa Universalis V team has achieved. This game was built by a tight, hardworking team with a relatively small budget, but an enormous amount of dedication and heart. The result speaks for itself: both critics and players have embraced EU5 with enthusiasm, and it’s clear that the passion and craft behind it shine through in every part of the game. A special mention goes to Johan Andersson, whose clear vision and leadership have guided Europa Universalis for over 25 years. Johan has been part of every iteration of the series, and his deep connection to the franchise is a cornerstone of its continued success. We’re thrilled about how EU5 has launched, and even more excited about what lies ahead. This is just the beginning of what we expect will be at least another 15 years of development, growth, and storytelling for one of Paradox’s most iconic series. Congratulations to everyone involved; your passion, creativity, and commitment continue to shape not just Europa Universalis, but the very soul of Paradox Interactive. The future looks bright.

Europa Universalis V is out now! Few games have meant as much to Paradox as Europa Universalis. What started as a niche strategy title more than 25 years ago became the foundation for everything our company is today: a passion for deep, replayable games built together with a dedicated community that shares our love for history in general and strategy in particular. With the release of Europa Universalis V, we’re not just continuing that legacy; we’re building on it. The game launched to incredible support, reaching #1 on Steam’s Global Top Sellers at release, a fantastic testament to the enduring strength of this series and its community. A huge thank you to the brilliant team at Paradox Tinto for their vision and hard work, and to our marketing and sales teams in Stockholm for bringing it all together on a global stage. It’s moments like this that remind me why we do what we do - creating experiences that inspire curiosity, challenge the mind, and stand the test of time. Congratulations to everyone involved, and to our players: thank you for making this journey possible. You are the reason we keep making games!

🌍Europa Universalis V is now available worldwide! The wait is finally over, and it’s a nostalgic moment for us. Europa Universalis was the first grand strategy game we developed and published, and today, 25 years later we are releasing the fifth installment of our flagship historical grand strategy game. This is a huge milestone filled with pride and we are incredibly excited to show the world the result of our team’s hard work, commitment, and passion in bringing this ambitious new chapter of the Europa Universalis franchise to life. We can’t wait to see the stories and empires our players will create. #EuropaUniversalis5

The reviews are in for Europa Universalis V! I couldn’t be more proud of our team’s work bringing this historical title to life. This is not just another release, it’s the next chapter in a legacy of grand strategy that began with the original Europa Universalis in 2000, grew through the landmark Europa Universalis IV and now reaches new heights with EU V. A little history: The Europa Universalis series has long stood for deep, historically grounded grand strategy; where diplomacy, trade, war, culture and economy all intertwine. With Europa Universalis V, we start from 1337 and span well into the early modern era, giving players unprecedented scope to shape history. We’ve introduced major new systems, for example the refined “pop” system modelling populations, improved trade and economic mechanics, and optional automation of certain systems so that new players and veterans alike can engage at the level they prefer. What the reviews are saying: “Monumentally complex but more accessible than ever before … already a grand strategy classic.”  - TechRadar "Europa Universalis 5 isn’t just an evolution, it’s a true rebirth. Paradox has modernized its classic without losing its soul, delivering a deeper and more dynamic historical simulation than ever before" - Gameblog.fr "Initially incredibly overwhelming, but once you're in... still absolutely overwhelming, but also pretty awesome to have so many options." - PC Games Why this means so much to us: Together with our brilliant teams across Stockholm and beyond, we set out to deliver an evolution of the series; not just a sequel. We challenged ourselves to rethink core systems while respecting what made the franchise beloved. Seeing players and critics alike respond so positively is humbling, it vindicates the hard work, late nights and shared passion. And: this is just the beginning. Europa Universalis V is built to grow. Many more stories to tell, more nations to play, more ways to shape the world. Thank you: To our development colleagues, QA teams, marketing, community & support, partners and, above allm to the players who have been on this journey with us. Your feedback, your enthusiasm, your dedication push us to do better. Johan Andersson To our Paradox community: you’ve asked ambitious questions and inspired ambition. This game is for you. Here’s to many thousands of hours of world-shaping strategy, to the next chapter in the grand strategy 🥂 https://lnkd.in/dcBwenU2
