Victoria 3 is Paradox's next grand strategy game, and we might even see Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 at some point.

Wester went on to say that Paradox wants to "strengthen the ecosystem and services" it provides around its games to make sure they "meet what our gamers want." The CEO also confirmed that the company is still investing in its "core projects", with the publisher's strategy and management games taking center stage and "receiving the vast majority" of investment. Now, at a company launch earlier this week, Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester confirmed that the publisher "may make several company or IP acquisitions over the next year or several years." He did not give specific names or details, but said the acquisitions would not be "our core business." As revealed in a company presentation this week, it looks like Paradox Interactive will "may" make some major acquisitions over the next few years that include both the company and the IP. Other than that, Paradox is also doubling down on its core strategy and management games - like the upcoming Victoria 3.Ģ022 looks set to be the year of major studio acquisitions. In particular, Microsoft is going to buy Activision as part of a massive $70 billion deal, and in contrast to this, Sony is buying Destiny 2 studio Bungie. Earlier this month, the Embracer Group took various studios away from Square Enix, including the developers of Tomb Raider and Deus Ex.
