A retooled Egypt, with more provinces around the Nile and less access between the Nile and the Red Sea.

More provinces in Central Arabia, the Hejaz, and Eastern Arabia/Oman, including new states like Medina.

A revamped Southern Arabia Peninsula, including six new playable countries and the formable country of Yemen.

From the first announcement, changes in the new patch include: Many parts of the region are expected to gain new territories and new states to expand the historical feel of the region, which hasn’t gotten a major update in years. Spoiler alert: the update is generally centered around the Middle East.įirst off, the next DLC and the associated free patch 1.23 will deliver a huge number of changes, many if not most of them specific to the Greater Middle East. To save you the trouble of reading nearly a dozen diaries ( although if you want to, go for it!), here’s what we know about the upcoming Europa Universalis 4 update. That said, the steady stream of Paradox Development Studio’s development diaries about the game have revealed that a free new patch, 1.23: The Persia Update, and a new DLC are on their way. The most recent pack, Third Rome, came back in June and nothing official has been announced since then.

It’s been a while now since the last Europa Universalis 4 DLC.
