Victoria 3 is an upcoming grand strategy video game to be published by Paradox Interactive, and is a sequel to the 2010 game Victoria II.[1] It was announced on 21 May 2021 at Paradox Interactive's 2021 convention, PDXCON: Remixed.[2][3]

Gameplay

Victoria 3 spans world history from 1836 to 1937 and allows the player to control one of over 100 countries in that time period.[4][5]

The game focuses on politics and demographics, with gameplay focusing on appealing to and appeasing population groups ("pops"), large blocks of people with shared interests. Pops possess a variety of interests with different ideologies that the player deals with.[4][6]

Another system getting added is the new system of 'Diplomatic Plays;' a system that borrows heavily from Victoria II's crisis system. When attempting to force other countries to concede land or opening markets players will present a target country with a demand detailing what they desire, which will result in the target country having the opportunity to demand concessions from the aggressor. Following this exchange of demands, a timer will begin counting down as both sides have a chance to mobilize troops and attract potential allies by offering spoils. If no diplomatic resolution is reached before the timer runs out, war will be declared.[4] Designer Mikael Andersson explained that this system was designed with the intent to deemphasize the role of warfare by making diplomacy equally as capable.[7]

Development

In the lead up to the game's announcement Victoria 3 was seen as a 'meme' by the Paradox fanbase due to players constantly asking about it, only to be ignored, with many joking that it would never see a release.[2][6][8]

Martin "Wiz" Anward is the current game director of the development.[9]
