Paradox Interactive Honors Ten Years with a Community Music Pack
Europa Universalis IV, the renowned historical grand strategy game by Paradox Interactive, is marking its 10th anniversary this month. Since its debut in August 2013, EU4 has captivated the hearts of desktop rulers and history enthusiasts, offering a nearly limitless exploration of possible historical scenarios.
A Journey Through History
Spanning four centuries from 1444 to 1821, Europa Universalis IV allows players to take control of any nation during this era, as the world progresses through the Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, and Age of Revolutions. Players can explore new lands, tailor their national ambitions, and strive to surpass the greatest rulers and conquerors in history.
A Special Gift: Community Music Pack
In celebration of this milestone, Paradox is offering all Europa Universalis IV players a complimentary music pack. This pack features ten songs remastered by the community composer, Utopia, adding to the game’s immersive experience.
Ongoing Development and Expansion
Europa Universalis IV has seen continuous development and enhancement over the last decade, securing its place as one of the longest-supported strategy games still actively growing. Paradox Tinto’s recent Domination Expansion Pack, released in April 2023, enriched many of the game’s favorite nations with new options and historical context.
Game Director Johan Andersson of Paradox Tinto reflects on the ten-year journey: “Europa Universalis is our flagship series, and its core ideas have stayed consistent while we’ve added more variety, strategies, and historical flavor. EU4’s success also led to the creation of our Tinto studio in Sitges, Spain. We owe much to the community that has nurtured this game over the past decade.”
Anniversary Celebrations
Paradox has dedicated August to various community events in honor of Europa Universalis IV’s anniversary. These include story-telling, art, special challenges for players, and significant discounts on the game at select online retailers.
By marking a decade of Europa Universalis IV with community engagement, free content, and reflective acknowledgment of its ongoing evolution, Paradox continues to foster a vibrant gaming community. This celebration exemplifies the enduring appeal of historical grand strategy, inviting new and seasoned players alike to shape their nation’s fate in a rich tapestry of world events.
