The game will be announced on May 24 for a late October release date. Things will happen relatively soon, don't lose hope guys!
I'm not opposed to this, since it's my birthday.
Would make for one hell of a present.

Tomorrow is Saturday, the luckiest day of the week... so therefore instead of a Saturday building, we will have a Saturday ANNOUNCEMENT. Surely what could be BUILDING my hopes up more than that?

i also had a dream, johan, dressed like george R.R. Martin, was on a couch with me, and i asked him how high the chance was in a game that you would see less than half the historical great powers and/or that less than half "railroady" stuff happens.

i also asked when the next book comes out... i think i had two things on my mind :D

To be honest he meant it in the context that he wouldnt normally cover all flavour talks and such.

It sounds like hes going to start covering them all now, I wouldnt read much into it other than why start covering more now? Release close? Simply new channel strategy to become bigger?

So, part of me still has hope that tomorrow could be an announcement. The "core mechanics feedback" era of Tinto Talks has clearly been bookended as of last week's dev diary, and we're now onto, in essence, advertisement of more flavourful and specific mechanics and gameplay loops. Additionally, it's been over a week now since the event in Stiges and I doubt that Tinto would go through the trouble of bringing all these content creators to their studio to try the game (and likely record) if they didn't plan to have an announcement somewhat imminently.

On the other hand, there's been no fanfare from PDX or Tinto at all about "news soon!". Not that I'm expecting a PDXCon style event, but even an announcement livestream scheduled a day in advance would be something I expect, and we've yet to see that.

Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but even for recent DLC announcements from paradox there's been a day or week of teasers and a "Join us tomorrow at 10am for some big news!". We haven't even got that here (though you can argue that there's absolutely nothing to tease with EU5. It's all laid bare except for the release date and name drop.).

Since we've not even got a slight teaser, nor any heads up or news stream scheduled, I'm inclined to believe that we won't get an announcement this week. I could be wrong, and maybe they shadow-drop an announcement on some date without any heads up, but I just find that somewhat unlikely given that I can't recall Paradox ever doing that in recent years, not even for a expansion.

This is where I'm at now too. I'm trying to remember what lead up there was to Vic3 and honestly I can't remember much, except that there was a pre-announcement a little while in advance. Since we haven't seen one, I'm thinking this week simply ain't happening. Perhaps next. But I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.
 
Ludi was teasing this in one of his recent videos wasn't he?
He took it down, but possible he hinted towards an announcement or maybe not. I recall that he'll be on break for 3-4 weeks and then he'll do more Project Caesar/EU5 content. Whether that means just Tinto Talks or actual EU5 content, we'll have to see.
