Europa Universalis V: Across The Pillars | Release Trailer

Across The Pillars

Europa Universalis V’s first Chronicle Pack, Across The Pillars, is out now. Set in Iberia and North Africa, it places Castile, Morocco or Granada in competition for dominion across the Western Mediterranean and beyond. Players can contest the Straits of Gibraltar, embark on unique Expeditions, navigate the future of the Iberian Union and lead their nation toward a Golden Century of power and exploration.

The central decision is whether to follow history and secure a Castilian victory at the Battle of Río Salado like Alfonso XI, or to defy the odds as Abu al-Hasan Ali of Morocco or Yusuf I of Granada and reassert control over the strait. Whoever emerges victorious will enter a Golden Century of art and exploration, venturing into a wider world promising prestige, riches and enemies like never before.

The Chronicle Pack leaves the question of what story ambition will unfold to the player, with the invitation to write the next chapter of history and carve a name into the Chronicles of history.

Players can also follow Europa Universalis News, Documentaries and Announcements through the official social channels, including Twitter/X, Facebook, IG and Discord, as well as the EU5 Forum and EU5 Steam community. Gameplay suggestions and bug reports have dedicated destinations, while newcomers can consult Player Resources and the Tutorial Course. Technical issues and performance questions are covered by separate technical support and performance resources.
