Pearls from the East (A free DLC)
Announced on 10 Mar 2017.

Adds 3 new buildings inspired by Chinese architecture:

Chinese Temple
Panda Zoo
Shanghai Pearl Tower

Which led me here:

Surprised there seems to be no mention of it on here yet.

I also read on several german game magazines some reports about that during the past days
and also had the same feeling why there is no information about that here. I always thought the forum is the #1 source for announcements and infos. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It might have been cancelled because the Chinese government is a bunch of authoritarian control freaks and issued an ultimatum.

Well, so far, they don't own Paradox Interactive yet so the chinese regime only has the power on the chinese soil, and the DLC can so far be given to the rest of the non-chinese controlled world.

More information about this will follow very soon .

The chinese market is very large. Getting blocked out of it is a serious amount of financial hurt.

Nice to hear.
I would also like to see more posts by Paradox here, in case you have the manpower to do so. I mean I saw an official post on Reddit and nothing here.

Funny you should mention that .
We are recruiting a new Community Manager so that our already existing managers can spend more time on each product. As you can image, since we have quite a few products, resources are stretched at the best of times and we hope to alleviate this in the near future!

You seem to have a very different view of the definition of "very soon" than I do.

Haha after nearly 5 years at Blizzard, "soon" has become a very relative term !

So I had been thinking it must be "very soon" on a "geological time scale", but I guess "blizzard" just implies a "glacial time scale". That's not as bad.

It's hard to be patient.

I also can't help but wonder... it's just 3 assets. One would presume that they would even have been done before (sort of quietly) announcing it for CS's birthday. Then nothing. What's the hold up? All I hear is crickets.

Shanghai Pearl Tower. Interesting Choice. Not my favorite building in Shanghai, but still.
It would be nice to have a full east asia set of buildings

 

[Seneon]

If the Pearl Tower could be used as a radio tower for the whole map, it would be nice.

Yay!

I had looked twice already this morning (before your post) and it wasn't there, but it is now.

Thanks!

 

[NADster]

Thank you a lot for this DLC. Just started a new map three days ago!

Good, now get back to recruiting a capable Community Manager asap ;p
It has been far too long since TotalyMoo left and you have yet to fill those large shoes.

Yeah I had no idea about this either. Didn't hear about it anywhere until I stumbled upon this thread.

Very cool, if not a bit random, but a nice addition to our cities.
