This is now over! We will be doing the same with another expansion within a near future, so stay tuned!
Starting Monday the 28th of January 2019 at around 13:00CET we will be offering everyone that owns Europa Universalis IV, but not Mandate of Heaven, a chance to try this expansion for free for one week!
What’s happening?
For one week we’ll be offering everyone to try a selected Europa Universalis IV expansion for free. Once the week is over, the expansion will be deactivated again if you didn’t purchase it.
How do I partake?
Simply start Europa Universalis IV, make sure that you are logged into your Paradox Account in the launcher and ensure the expansion is selected under the DLC tab in the launcher before pressing play.
Do I get to keep the expansion?
It is a time limited trial only. If you don’t purchase the expansion, it will be deactivated once the week is over.
Can I continue my ongoing campaign?
There should be no problem continuing a save started without the expansion, with the expansion. However: A campaign played with the free expansion activated will not be possible to continue without it, so be wary about this fact.
I already own this expansion, can I pick which one I want then?
No. We are focusing on this one particular expansion. If you already own it, thank you for supporting us by buying our games! Hopefully next time it will be an expansion you don't already own.
Why are you doing this?
We want to give people the opportunity to try out some content they might not own before buying it!
I’m having problems starting the game, with my Paradox Account or the expansion!
Please submit a ticket through support.paradoxplaza.com
When is the free trial over?
The free trial will end around noon CET on Monday the 4th of February, at which point you will no longer be able to access Mandate of Heaven. Any campaigns started using the expansion will not be possible to continue without it.
