At the end of the week, it will be a year since we have had any news on the development of Imperator Rome.
Here is what was said at the time:
Paradox tells us doc that they are understaffed and that they have moved people to other more urgent projects and that they will rebuild a team for imperator and that the objective is to continue on the same trajectory as the game, with high quality of life updates, free content, and solid and enjoyable DLCs. These statements date from April 2021.
Since then, in a year, no one from paradox has come to give us any news (apart from reprimanding us when we yell too much). No answers to questions during quarterly reviews.
We are in April 2022 and we have just learned that at PDXCOM 2022 that Imperator will not be part of the games that will be present.
The question is therefore legitimate: Did Paradox lie to us?
For me the answer is yes. Just look at the job postings. None mention Imperator while CK3, Stellaris, unannounced games and others are named. Why not put imperator at PDXCOM, which we know will not be announced, except to avoid possible questions.
At some point you will have to say things without hiding. Communication is good, but we should avoid taking people for wallets and fools.
Is Imperator still in development or is it dead? We waited a year, without any answer, now WE WANT A CLEAR ANSWER.

Hey,
We would like to give you an update on where we are at with Imperator: Rome, since the 2.0 Update and Heirs of Alexander. Earlier this year we did some reorganization work within PDS, you can read the full details in this thread - link.
I wanted to highlight a part of that communication that is relevant to Imperator, and the reason why we have been a little quiet recently:
Imperator is important to us, and you, our fans are also important to us, so we're going to figure this out. Not sure when we'll be back with more content, but the aim is to continue the same trajectory the game has been going in, with great quality of life updates, free content and solid, enjoyable DLCs.
Happy to answer any questions, where possible, and expect a few other people from the team will probably drop in to say a word of two in the thread as well.
Thanks,
