Yeah honestly the thing that makes me most believe in a 2025 release is that Lambert said that even the build he got to play would be the smoothest PDX release in recent memory, and the fact that they slipped 2025 in one of the official forum posts when the game was revealed in May.

That said, there is still a bunch of feedback posts left, together with a proper marketing campaign with developer diaries, so a Q1 2026 release wouldn’t surprise me at all.

It’s either Oct-Nov 2025 or Jan-March 2026.

Q1 2026 is not an option as that would mean a wasted Christmas holiday not playing EUV, that kind of torment would be unthinkable.

So, kids, Santa spent too much money on Europa Universalis V Deluxe Premium Lifelong Gold-Plated Platinium Edition signed by Johan himself, so there will be no Christmas gifts this year, but daddy will let you watch him play if you promise you'll be silent.

This is a serious thread with serious consequences. Álvaro starved to death from lack of a release date. If the devs continue to withold the much needed release date then famine will take over the forums.
Well... what if we really announce a hunger strike? I mean, not me since I'm surrounded by glorious Polish food, but what about our British forumites? It should be easier for them to do.

I say we all repost some copy pasta on this forum until we get to 1337 pages, then they will have to release the date as a compensation for our pain.

It has been 62 days since announcement without the game being released, and I am quite sweaty

Who know it could get so hot in Spain?? My house hunting excursion has slowed down significantly. Yet I remain undeterred.

Tinto will have a rather annoying fanboyish neighbor if the mesoamerican gods will it!
It has been 63 days since announcement without the game being released, and I am quite sure but not certain I saw Johan giving someone the blood eagle inside the Tinto office….

I think…. I think I might not bother Tinto directly about the release date now. But now I’ve come all this way I may still purchase a house here…
