Today's the 11th anniversary of the game coming out, so I guess we'll get a post acknowledging that at least, but I wouldn't hold my breath for anything else.

Its been a long while since last DLC, we know the devs are back from holidays because we hear from them constantly at Tinto Talks.
And precisely from Tinto Talks it sounds like they are full on all hands on deck working A LOT on EU5.
I mean just look at Tinto Maps and the amount of work int here just on feedback. Does not sound like they are spending time on EU4. At least the team leads.
Maybe they have two junior content designers doing some small goodbye free patch/DLC for EU4 with missions for a handful of nations that will be announce along EU5 to give something to play with until release...but yeah its clear that all the top people dont have time to work on EU4 and are all on project ceasar.

King of Kings was announced in September, so there's still enough time for another Immersion Pack to be announced and released, but there's no guarantee that it will happen.
I'll just add this message for the case they use this thread's activity as a measure for user interest in EU4.
It confirms that there will be another update, although we have no idea of the scale, it could be a free patch or another Immersion Pack.

I wouldn't say no to some Manchego made by Pavía himself.

Hopefully next week or in a few weeks.
If it's another Immersion Pack (hopefully), what do you think it could/should focus on?
There are a few possibilities:
India
Balkans and Beyliks
North Africa (including Nubia)
Colonial Nations
I doubt colonial nations will ever receive contents. If they do receive contents that will mean a complete rework of the colonisation system, but that will most likely never happen as a better colonisation system already in the work in Project Ceasar.
My current estimate of EU4 lifespan is until around 2026. Project Ceasar is still in early stage of development, but I expect proper announcement will be end of next year and release will be around 2026.

I would also prefer something else than the Colonial Nations and since they weren't included with Domination and Wind of Changes, it's unlikely that they would be the main focus of a DLC, because they are hard to access, you can't select them at the 1444 start and that wouldn't sell.
Did you listen to the podcast last Tuesday? It did sound like they are working on something (although something could also be EUV lol).
Also, september is here and if this isn't the end, there's a high chance that they announce something this or next week.

I'm sorry to say, your daddy will not be coming back with cigarettes and milk from the corner store today either.

Despite no DD, this is still something. For players like me who already owned all DLCs for some years, this meant nothing. Well, great for new players though, less money to own the whole game. Also October 17 the day of integration, this might mean a patch drop either minor or major. Most likely a minor patch.

Is the new confirmation that EU4 is finished or that there will be further content added? To be honest I see arguments for both. If you wanted to sell the game in its last patches and sell the last DLC, giving so many DLCs for free would be a smart move.
On the other hand you could also say that this is just an attempt at a last sale rump up before EU5 comes, so people pick up the game and maybe the latests DLCs as older ones have become base game now.
Personally I really hope they dont waste any more development time on EU4 and spend it on Eu5 which is a much better game and allows for cooler and deeper mechanics thanks to the newer engine. EU4 DLCs added nothing but mission trees anyway. I prefer the designer work on the EU5 beautiful map and provinces, pops etc.
