Victoria 3 is in progress for PC, according to Paradox Interactive, who announced it at PDXCON. This long-awaited strategy game sequel will encourage fans to create an empire in the nineteenth century, with gameplay that reflects the world’s sweeping changes at the time.
Victoria II was released in 2010 for PC and Mac, and it quickly became popular with fans of grand strategy games. Unlike Crusader Kings 3, which follows individual members of a dynasty, the Victoria games allow the player to command an entire world. Campaigns can begin as early as 1836, and players can build empires based on trade and diplomacy, with the occasional military war threw in for good measure.
The time has come to return to the Victorian era after years of gossip and conjecture. Victoria 3 is being developed by Paradox Interactive and will be released on PC through Steam, Microsoft Game Pass, and the Paradox Store. There is currently no release date set for the game.
Victoria 3 is a grand strategy game set in the years 1836-1936, with the player having the option of playing as almost any country in the world. Rather than just conquering other nations, the game focuses on the diplomatic, civil, and mercantile aspects of empire building.
When each nation’s citizens are affected by the transition toward industrialization, the player has the potential to influence their society. The economic structure in Victoria 3 is by far the most complex, with a map divided into various markets allowing players to create, purchase, and sell at a premium in order to make their nation as wealthy as possible. Diplomacy is a sophisticated system, and the threat of aggression is often almost as successful as bringing troops into combat.
Even as opposed to titles like Crusader Kings 3, Paradox Interactive is known for making in-depth grand strategy games, and Victoria 3 manages to move it to another level. The game’s opportunities are staggering, and players will take a variety of different routes to victory that don’t always lead to battle. Victoria viewers have been waiting for a new installment of the series for a long time, and the time has come for new civilizations to be built in the shadows of factories and markets rather than on the battlefield.
