From Press Release:
STOCKHOLM – 06 MAY 2026 – Heir to the Caesars and bastion of the faith, the Eastern Roman Empire of the late medieval world is at a crossroads. Decades of decline and retreat mean that only a strong hand can reverse the fate of a fading empire. In Fate of the Phoenix, the throne is yours. Rise from the ashes of failure and renew the fortunes of Byzantium.
Europa Universalis V: Fate of the Phoenix is the first immersion pack for Paradox Interactive’s best-selling historical grand strategy game about the late medieval and early modern era. Focused on the Byzantine Empire, Fate of the Phoenix adds more historical content to the heirs of Rome, including a new disaster and unique color that brings the challenges of the time to life as you write new histories of this fading giant.
Europa Universalis V: Fate of the Phoenix includes:
- Byzantine Bureaucracies: Unique content for the new Bureaucracy system designed for larger imperial powers. Choose to keep the old ways in hopes of restoring the empire or take the risk of discarding centuries of ambition to follow a more modest course.
- Latinitas vs Romanismos: A unique Societal Value for the empire, choosing between a reconciliation with the Latin powers of the west or entrenching native Greek culture and independence.
- Fate of the Phoenix Disaster: Work to reverse the crumbling fortunes of the empire before it gets too late to stop the decline. Choose a clear path, expand quickly, and reform so you can stabilize the ship of state.
- More Orthodox Content: Interact with the Ecumenical Patriarchs, restore the Pentarchy to strengthen the Eastern Church, expand Orthodoxy to Rome and Mend the Schism.
- Hellenism: Revive belief in the old pagan gods, seeking their favor through the invocation of omens.
- Latin Culture: Embrace a total return to the old Roman roots, taking up the old ways.
- New Art: New portraits, illustrations, city models and unit models for the Eastern Mediterranean inspired by Byzantine history.
- New Flavor Content: New events, military units, character-related actions, subjects, and more!
