The Grand Strategy Country Crusher Europea Universalis 5 was declared yesterday, in which a complex century-fila historical SIM was revealed. But one thing we still do not know is the price or how it will be sold. If you want to buy the previous game in the series, Europe Universalis 4, you will get a large library with a large library of membership model and DLC. Base gameWhich may cause some fans that the sequel will launch with a similar membership model. But this will not happen, the developers say contradiction Tinto. They are going to sell it normally. at least for now.
In an interview with RPS, the game director Johan Anderson said, “Obviously, when we have enough DLCs, there will be subscription models, as subscription models are great.” But when asked if the publisher is planning to keep a subscription model directly from the gate, he said no.
“No, as long as we do not have DLC. I mean, of course, I would like to keep a membership model, where people pay me five euros, or ten euros in a month, whatever it is. But as long as we have no content, I am not sure that people want (said): ‘Hey! January, February, March, March, March, you will get ten Euros for March … And you will get DLC in April … And you will get DLC in April!’ No.”
Paradox began experimenting with membership for its largest and most extended game like EU4 in 2020, and later offered a subscription for all steller’s space accessories in 2024. Its cost is £ 8.50 per month and when you unseeded you do not get to keep anything. You can still buy each of these games normally, of course. Sub is just one option – one I do not really recommend. This will certainly not make great understanding for the latest grand strategy sequel of the publisher at the launch, and the gods agree.

But there is another familiar problem for the contradiction. The Europa Universalis 5 will be shaped next to its predecessor. How can the new strategy game compete with a decade of DLC and Extra? Will Europe be sufficient in the base game of Universalis 5 to woo giants to hop for new games? Anderson thinks so.
“Almost all EU4 features that are in its DLCs are currently part of the base game in the EU5,” he told us. This means that EU5 will inherit all the systems that EU4 has created in years of years of expansion and update. Which theoretically gives it a higher value in the form of a complete catalog of EU4 expansion. Of course, the players will be able to verify the promise when the EU5 is fully released.
For DLC plans, the contradiction Tinto is not yet worried about this.
Anderson says, “We have philosophy,” but I think it is a bad idea to write ideas and work on things … before you wrap and send the game. This is my experience. Certainly, the salesperson wants (to say): ‘We need 12 DLC ready ASAP!’ But, yes … I don’t want to do it because it takes away from the base game. ,
This is quite fresh and confident to hear. Contraindications are sometimes accused of giving milk when it comes to many of their cosmetic packs and expandobits. Even they have been accused of “fixing” game with the DLC paid – some company’s CEOs denied their process of creating a game to portray a piece of art. “When is a painting done?” He introduced. “When you stop painting it, I think.”
My own view is that the contradiction DLC is going to be always, by its nature, a hit or miss. And you can easily dodge the duff items by reading on reviews. The best way to explain is what is a thin soup of the cap and what is a rich stew of adventure. When you have found a rock paper shotgun, you don’t need a subscription model, which I am saying, friend.
