Two New Games Announced From Paradox Development Studio

All-new Title Runemaster and Much-anticipated Sequel Hearts of Iron IV Announced at Paradox Convention

MIAMI — January 23, 2014 — Paradox Interactive today, at the Paradox Interactive Convention in Miami, announced the forthcoming release of two new games from Paradox Development Studio. The two titles revealed were Runemaster, a role-playing game (RPG) set in a fantasy realm based on Norse mythology and Hearts of Iron IV, the highly anticipated new entry in Paradox’s World War II strategy series.

Runemaster is an RPG set in a fantasy realm based in the rich, majestic traditions of Norse mythology, casting each player in the role of a unique champion in a time of chaotic upheaval. Procedural maps and quests will ensure that no two playthroughs are identical, allowing players to tell a saga that is uniquely their own. Explore vast vistas through the six worlds of Norse myth, command troops in tactical combat, and define your champion through the choices they make.

“Creating an RPG is something new for Paradox Development Studio, and it’s been a dream project we’ve wanted to undertake for a long time now,” said Johan Andersson, Studio Manager at Paradox Development Studio. “We’re always playing RPGs in our spare time and discovering new things we love about them as a game genre; it was only natural that sooner or later we’d have to design our own. Runemaster is the result, and we know our fans will love it.”

Hearts of Iron IV challenges players to face the brutal conflict of World War II in a multifaceted grand strategy game, where history can be fully relived or rewritten from the perspective of a global superpower attempting to change the world, or a small nation simply trying to survive.

Strategy fans will discover the most authentic real-time simulation of World War II to date, with authentic historical figures battling on land, sea, and air with period-accurate armies, vehicles, and newly discovered weapons of mass destruction – along with plenty of diplomatic and trade tactics.
