This is partly due to its huge wealth of rules and mechanics, and the high level of polish on release (bucking the trend of Paradox's games up to that point, which were often seen as buggy at launch). New Epic Games Store titles often debut for free on the store, especially if they are older legacy titles like Europa Universalis 4.Īlthough the game is now over eight years old, it still has a thriving fanbase and stands as one of the highest-rated games in the series by a large margin. In fact, none of the other Europa Universalis games have ever been on the store, so the title debuting for free next week will mark a big step for the franchise in terms of distribution. This will also mark the first time that Paradox Interactive's 2013 title comes to the storefront. Europa Universalis 4 will become free on the Epic Games Store starting on September 30, 2021.
