Let's do a Paradox topic, as a lot is going down. Feel free to share your (mis)adventures.

Crusader Kings 2 is getting a new expansion(Jade Dragon), which is rumored to be the penultimate CK2 DLC. Jade Dragon is mostly focused around simulating China as an off-map power which on-map rulers can interact with(and that China can interact with). The expansion itself seems strong, with the caveat that it applies almost exclusively to the eastern end of the map, so definitely not worth it if that's not your cup of tea.
It is, of course, being accompanied by a (massive) patch. Changelog is in below link(as well as a picture of the physical patch notes): https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/ck2-dev-diary-74-patch-notes-achievements.1053632/

Europa Universalis IV is also getting an expansion, the Cradle of Civilization. It focuses on mechanics for Middle Eastern and Near Eastern powers(particularly the Mamluks, Aq Qoyunlu, Qara Qoyunlu, Persia, and the Timurids) as well as a (dubious) professionalism mechanic for armies.
The patch has all the good stuff, so it should be easy to pass on CoC, is what I'm saying, as it seems imminently extraneous.

Stellaris is currently being overhauled in a giga-patch with no firm release date, as of yet. The patch, among other things, brings starbases(which completely replace spaceports and outposts), needing to build outposts(level 0 starbases) to claim systems, a complete overhaul of FTL travel(warp and wormholes are dead), and galactic terrain(pulsars disable shields, ships cannot see into systems in nebulae, etc.) Details below.
