Definite proof that it is Rome 2

[Augustus93]

I clicked on eurome2.com and look and behold, I was redirected to Paradox plaza shop. Try it for yourself. This is a clear sign that Paradox owns the domain and its true content is soon to go live. So with 99.9999% certainty, I can say that it is going to be Rome 2.

Looks like this has been registered for some time. So is not proof. Though it is Rome 2 tomorrow

I checked this page a couple of days ago as well and I didn't get any redirects at all. So that is at least new.

But so does crusaderkings3.com and europauniversalis5.com (but not victoria3.com).

It was bought in 2014 which fits with the timeline, around the same time Rome 2 shirts appeared.

No age of wonders 4 however.

Probably suggesting that if a game in the Victorian period is ever released it will be under a different name.

At least CK2 is near the end of its life cycle. I don't know about EU4 but that game is also quite old now. And they don't buy the domain at the last second which is maybe bad news for any Victoria 3.

Heartsofiron5.com is also owned by paradox

4 year development time, from early concept approval, and taking into account delays as Johan and others firefight else where at times ?

Game development is about iterations so it takes long time. EU IV was finished 2013 so development of Rome II started in 2014.

Around that time Rome II shirts started to appear.

Europauniversalis4 was created in 2012 but it was in development years Before that but they did not have the same resources as that time as they have today.

So are apparently Heartsofiron6.com to Heartsofiron8.com. Heartsofiron9.com is still available!

But not Europauniversalis6 which paradox bought in 2014.

Yeah, kind need to have Rome 2 confirmed already now

If you google on eurome2, it was posted on reddit 4 years ago.

Is it me or did the teasers not get any easier this year like they have done previously ?

The Bard one especially, seems like a curve ball that could fit Rome, but not especially.
