Paradox seems to have a lot on its plate for this year. Tyranny, Stellaris, HOI4, as well as possible new World of Darkness and Vampire games since they acquired White Wolf.

So what's the news on gog getting existing titles like Skylines, Crusader Kings 2, Victoria 2, or EU4? Does anyone browse the Paradox forums and have any info? Gog blues got the scoop? Anything? 2016 looks to be a big year for Paradox. Would be nice to see gog get some love.

If Paradox released any of their games here, it would be those who aren't patched anymore or have no more DLCs to be released, so that makes Cities: Skylines, Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4 and every other of their newly-released games unlikely to be released here in the near future. Maybe when GOG gives developers an easier way to autopatch games, Paradox might be willing to bring their new stuff here, but till that happens, I doubt they will bother. So what are the games with the most realistic chances to be released?

Arsenal of Democracy
Commander: Conquest of the Americas
Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come
King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame
Knights of Honor
Knights of Pen and Paper
The King's Crusade
Pirates of the Black Cove
Ship SImulator Extreme
Victoria 2

Other games like Cities in Motion 2, Impire, Magicka, March of the Eagles, Teleglitch and Warlock might also be possible, though I'm not sure how much their Steam-only status might hinder their release.

Last but not least, CDPR hinted at the release of an AAA game with a concurrent global release this year and full Galaxy support, which might or might not be Stellaris, so it all remains to be seen.

I would really like them to acquire Crusader Kings 2 (and if possible DLCs, the expansions pack are good enough), Stellaris looks interesting and of course any games in the World of Darkness universe. (A strategy vampire game? That would be kind of original :)

I would love to see Vampire Bloodlines. And when all DLCs are out then Cities Skyline too.

King Arthur II would be nice.

Anything that's SP only seems like a safe bet(?), e.g. Tyranny or the new WOD RPG, whenever that's coming out.
Pillars of Eternity did -and probably still does with the expansions- fairly well on GoG, so Paradox might want to build on that momentum. Last I checked Tyranny is still due sometime this year.

I shot off an email to Colossal Order about Skylines. I figure a reply from the dev would be more likely than asking Paradox. We'll see...

I wouldn't mind seeing Impire here. I played a little bit of it and it gave me Dungeon Keeper vibes.

Eff yeah, took the words right out of my mouth. I have an instabuy spring-loaded for both of these.

Hey, where's Stalin vs Martians?

Vic 2 and King Arthur 2 seem most likely, almost definites. AoD too, I'd think

Commander: Conquest of the Americas and (the unmentioned) East India Company may have rights reversion issues similar to Achtung Panzer/ Penumbra/ Elven Legacy/ Mount&Blade. C:CotA doesn't seem to have a Paradox forum any more and while EIC does it doesn't seem to have a publisher listed on steam. Otherwise they'd be very likely as well.

Ship Simulator Extreme was... extreme, in it's badness, and never fixed.

Any steamworks game is inherently less likely though they have some 'finished' games that would certainly be a good fit, like Warlock.

Cities: Skylines is the one I'm really waiting for. I know its still in the early dlc cycle for paradox so it will get dlc for next 2-3 years but still would be just happy with base version (even if its only windows version) here since it has huge content already.

Maybe it can also have a short-lived but glorious 5-month release on GOG like Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943 did.

March of the Eagles can reportedly run without Steam once installed, so it shouldn't be such a big deal. As for the rest, it would require the developer of each of the games to remove Steamworks themselves, which might or might not be a bother to them.

Would certainly love to see more from Paradox over here, especially Victoria II.

As for the AAA Games, I'm not sure, but maybe they refered to Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition, released this week, though "global" did feel under the rug, as German version got oddly removed from sale.

Initially, I thought so too, but we are talking a concurrent global release, which seems to imply that it will be released on both Steam and GOG at the same time.

Interesting... though I'm just not sure if Stellaris might be that likely, mainly with Paradox's Massive DLC Policies, unless Galaxy might finally leave beta state, which I honestly doubt...

Seen as their later games like EUIV and CKII have massive lists of DLCs, this might be one of the bigger reasons holding their release over here back (along with them still being worked on, as almost all Paradox games over here are either finished, or not made in-house)
