Has anyone noticed the countdown timer on the Paradox Plaza HOI4 store page? Do we know what its counting down to?

https://www.paradoxplaza.com/hearts-of-iron-iv

As of now (10:11PM, EDT), I see 68 hrs, 48 min and some seconds remaining, which would be 7pm EDT on Tuesday, March 22. What do you think happens then?

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, but I couldn't find an answer or any threads talking about it, so I thought I'd ask! Thanks :D

Mine just says "Available: 6 June, 2016"

EDIT: oh silly me, you meant paradox plaza, i was looking on steam. disregard. i do see a timer on that page

And that's exactly why I thought it might be smart for me to provide the link ;), no worries though always good to confirm I'm not the only one who sees something :D

I really do wonder whats going to happen on the 22nd regarding HoI4?
PS: Whats more interesting is I noticed Stellaris's page's source HTML has the count down timer wrapper embedded as well, but its not active.

Paradox! Why must you tease us so!!!

Probably a sale. I see the same thing on the Europa Universalis IV page.

https://www.paradoxplaza.com/europa-universalis-4

So, yeah. Just the time the sale ends.

A sale? On a game that isn't out or even available for pre-order? Not really what I was expecting, but I see the spring sale ends on the 22nd, so you are probably right and its just an oversight that it got activated on HoI4's page.

Ah well mystery solved!

Maybe that's when you can start preordering and maybe (deity of your choice willing) get into an open beta or something.

Paradox does have their Easter sale on at the moment, and going until Tuesday would cover Easter off nicely. I suspect this is it. You did get me excited for a moment there Kikaider :).

I think the fact Stellaris didn't have the countdown while HoI did was probably what made me think it was HoI specific ;) It's really easy to delude yourself when you REALLY want something to happen!

THE HYPE IS REAL! (for both games!!)

This is the same situation we already had twice in the past. It is the timer for the Spring Sale, nothing else, im afraid. We already had that same confusion in the past with past sales in the store, since the countdown shows on any storepage, even for games not released yet. This one doesnt show on the Stellaris page for some reason, but i guess its because that site is newer than the others or something around those lines.

This is what we know:

  • The game will relese June 6th,
  • which in returns mean the pre-orders start may 6th, since paradox opens pre-orders 1 month ahead. This is also confirmed by Bjorn, since he hinted at the previous releases and pre-orders when asked when pre-orders start.
Same applies to Stellaris.

  • The game releases may 9th
  • which in return means the pre-orders start april 9th.

This is the same situation we already had twice all over again. It is the timer for the Spring Sale, nothing else. We already had that same confusion twice, since the countdown shows on any storepage, even for games not released yet.

Ok, I know you are trying to help, but taking a snippy attitude is not useful for three reasons at this point
1) I and others already acknowledged that it must have been for the spring sale by the fourth post, so why did you feel the need to repeat the answer?
2) You're actually spreading misinformation: the countdown DOES NOT show on the Stellaris store page, which also been mentioned in this thread and was part of my initial confusion.
3) Where has this been discussed twice? I did searches for "spring sale" and "countdown" using the forum search, nothing about it appeared. I did due diligence before opening the thread (even NOW it doesn't show any threads talking), so why the attitude? If you claim its been asked/commented on (which in my OP I even was possible), I'd love to see the threads, please link.

It was some other sale, i think winter or last summer sale. I dont have an "snippy attitude", i just posted what i know. If you misinterpretated my post and felt insulted or something i apologize.

I'm not sure. I'm thinking it's either a bug, or Paradox overlooked it, and it was never meant to show on the Hearts of Iron IV page at all.

Right, I think so as well, but the discrepancy (and HYPE) is what led to my initial confusion and post about it. But I fairly sure at this point everyone's right and that its due to the spring sale and not an early pre-order countdown.

Its definitely for the sale, which includes all HOI games. The timer shows up regardless if the game is released.

This same question was asked back during the Christmas sale
