gamescom Opening Night Live 2025: Europa Universalis V

With a sweeping view of a diorama-style world map, Europa Universalis V’s new trailer looks an awful lot like Game of Thrones meets Civilization. We didn’t see an awful lot in the way of gameplay, but we did get a glimpse of the 2D map screen, and some lovely in-engine graphics. With so much gameplay having been revealed already, though, it’s likely that Paradox knew we wouldn’t need any

Confirmation of some of the real-world events is seen, including the spread of the Black Death. There’s a more important real-world event announced though: The release date. If you’re eager to get conquering the world, then you can start doing so from The 4th of November.
