Paradox Interactive is bringing Africa front and centre in the next in a past EU4 dev diary, but Songhai, Kongo, Ethiopia, Ajuuraan, Kilwa, and Mutapa will be getting new mission trees as well.
In addition to this, some of the minor African nations will be getting new mission options, and there'll also be a range of new music themed on West and East African cultures, new unit sprites, and expansion of the Jewish religion. The DLC will also include the Ethiopian Jews of Beta Israel, and Jewish nations in general can now choose from nine religious traits that come with new flavour events.
As always, the expansion will launch with a free update as well, which we're expecting to be the 1.32 patch. Not all of the details are known yet, but Stellaris' Custodians initiative.
Here's the announcement trailer:
Origins will be EU4's first slice of new content since Leviathan, which Paradox called "one of the worst releases" it's had before fixing it up with various patches in the months that followed.

The Europa Universalis IV: Origins immersion pack will release on November 11, 2021 on PC via Steam and the Paradox Store.
