This is a victory that deserves to be shared: only a month after its launch, the strategy game Victoria 3 is a nice little success. More than 500,000 copies have been sold, let us know Paradox Interactive, the publisher, who split a nice illustration to highlight some figures in passing. It’s simply the best launch in the studio’s history, which reminds us that the game will benefit from a series of major updates in the coming weeks. A roadmap has also been revealed by the developers to keep the community informed of the planned changes. We also recall that Victoria 3 was nominated for the Game Awards 2022 in the Best Strategy Game category and Martin Anward, Game Director of Victoria 3 at Paradox Development Studio, wanted to thank the players without whom all this would not be possible.
