Reforge the challenges of today into achievements of tomorrow in EUIV: Winds of Change.

From the waterways of Tenochtitlan to the canals of Venice, from the Holy Roman Empire to the Mughal court, from the Mongol Steppes to the Andean Highlands. Over a dozen nations get makeovers in Winds of Change, a new expansion pack for Europa Universalis IV, available now.

This expansion pack adds new historical content for nations as different as the Aztec Empire that dominated 15th century Mexico, to the Mughal Empire that emerged out of Central Asia to dominate India for three hundreds years, to the trading republics of Venice and the Netherlands, each controlling the seas to guide precious cargo home.

This historical content takes many forms, including expanded and branching mission trees, unique government reforms that reflect the characteristics of certain nations, new decisions and events, and special mechanics that allow you to leverage cultural abil... Read more

Hey everyone, welcome to another Developer Diary! Before we get to the content, we would like to let you know that we have gathered a lot of feedback regarding last week’s Diary from various sources, and are extremely happy that the new Central European content generated feedback and positivity! Despite that, there have been some concerns and requests, so before we move on, let’s take a look at what has changed since then, thanks to this feedback:

• Hungary is now a (re)formable nation for tags with Hungarian or Transylvanian primary cultures.
  
• Hungarian conquest missions no longer require Hungary to be an independent nation, which should make them a much more attractive subject.
  
• The 'Serbian Despotate' Tier 1 government reform now grants access to the Order of the Dragon.
  
• We have added the 'Bohemian Commonwealth' optional cosmetic country rename as a reward of the namesake mission.
  
• The decision to form...

Greetings everyone! It’s been a while since the last Europa Universalis IV Developer Diary, but we didn’t want to end the year without reaching out one more time, in order to share with you a retrospective view not only of 1.36 and EUIV: King of Kings after its release, but of what has happened to EUIV in 2023 as a whole. Let’s get started!

We've just reworked much of our bundles on Steam - meaning lower prices and more relevant content.

Almost all of our existing offerings have been streamlined, consolidated, or revamped to be more thematically consistent.

The most significant changes have been to the Ultimate Bundle and Starter Pack (now the Starter Edition), which have seen much of their content rearranged; for example, the Ultimate Bundle has had cosmetic packs removed and repackaged into the new Prestige Collection. These bundles are therefore now better organised (and cheaper!):

• Starter Pack (US$89.96) → now Starter Edition (US$49.99)

A package specifically curated to give players a strong starting point with EUIV. Includes the base game, a content pack, and two major expansion packs that add greater depth and more strategic options to the game.

Build New Empires on Old Ground in EU4: King of Kings

As the Early Modern Age dawns, rising empires collide against faded glories. The divided lands of Persia hold great promise for any who can unite them. The imperial seat of Constantinople rules only the rump of a once mighty empire. The wealth of Egypt makes the Mamluk Sultanate an attractive target for enemies. Rise to the challenge of the ages in King of Kings, a new Immersion Pack for Europa Universalis IV, available now.

Europa Universalis IV: King of Kings adds even more historical flavor and alternate historical possibilities to Paradox’s celebrated grand strategy game, with a specific focus on the kingdoms and empires that challenged the Ottoman Empire in Asia and Africa. With hundreds of new missions and dozens of other changes, King of Kings is a substantial addition to Europa Universalis IV, a game that has been challenging amateur strategists and history buffs for over a decade.
