Stellaris and Hoi IV launched the same day. EUIV came out a year after Ckii. Announce Vic III next spring on her birthday or at PDXCON to be Imperator's sister game. I know my saying this wouldn't change anything but it is my pipe dream.
You mean Vic3 for Vic2's 200th birthday, right?
Shams and Fred confirmed that Victoria 3 will be announced before 2045, so we don't have to wait quite that long.
Stellaris launched May 9th, 2016, HoI4 launched June 6th.Stellaris and Hoi IV launched the same day.
