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?

I have it on good authority there is an imminent announcement coming this week.

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.
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.

Could someone explain the whole this week idea to me please, I've only been checking every now and then
That's what they said about Switch 2, and I got myself hyped a random day of every month the past year for it

Basically PDX had a bunch of YouTubers come out to the Tinto studios last week, probably to play the game, possibly to record videos for it (though that's mostly conjecture). Also Johan has announced he's going to be too busy the next few weeks to do the Dev Diaries, so people are hoping that it's a sign of an imminent announcement, with the streamers being allowed to upload gameplay and show the game off at the same time or shortly thereafter.

Yeah I gotta be honest that sounds pretty damning to me, every time they invite content creators something is up
I think the "this week" thing was a meme from the fact the youtubers went last weekned.
I am still on hopium that it will be this month due to Ludis comments in his deleted video about "having lots of eu5 content in the channel in a month". But we'll see.
Playing devils advocate (as im in the hopium train), the visit from the YouTubers could have been a first meet up to show them the studio and maybe even the game, and especially as a first meeting to organize a future event. Like videos, announcement, post announcement stuff. But that does not mean it would be imminent. They might have formed a work group to start working on announcement and post announcement several months ahead of it.

People on this forum seems to think that it's expensive for a big company to fly a dozen dudes to one of its offices. My employer (not a huge corporate dinosaur) regularly flies in students from all around the country in order for them to attend glorified marketing/networking events, it's reasonable that relevant streamers will be allowed to attend 2-3 private Paradox events before the game is even announced.

I reckon it'll be announced within a month. I mean they had all the youtubers come to Sitges and post jokes about it being a secret etc. and Johan is 'busy'.

Yeah, but it'd be weird to let them post stuff about it unless an announcement was somewhat close.
