The brand new IP that Paradox Development Studio is working on will be announced in full at Gamescom next month, but until then we’ll be subjected to small teasers ”every weekday” until they finally unveil the truth.
This will be the internal studio’s ”first new major IP” since Crusader Kings debuted over a decade ago. Teaser #2 tells us Seven and Three ”are important numbers.” We’re then told to enjoy our weekend.
Project Augustus has been known about for some time and was believed to perhaps have been a revival of the Europa Universalis: Rome spin-off, but it was later revealed as an all-new IP. As it’s being handled by the internal teams at Paradox, who just love their grand strategies, it’s likely to be in the strategy genre.
As of right now the Project Augustus sub forum is locked to staff posts only, and we’re due Teaser #3 on Monday and so on until Gamescom starts up August 5-9. This gives the studio well over a week to keep torturing us with teasing drips of information.
Can you make something out of Teaser #2’s cryptic message?
