Does anyone know, when to expact Vic 2. to come out???

Vicky never made any money for Paradox, so never.

Meh, I just saw the thread title and thought there was some news. Damn you for getting my hopes up!






And no, there's no news. I believe quite many are rather resigned about the matter and won't consider Vicky 2 likely to be made.

"Victoria 2 is never late! Nor is it ever early. It arrives precisely when I mean it to do!"

My guess is that at some point Paradox will visit the time period currently covered in Victoria with their new engine, but to what degree the new engine game for the period from the mid-19th C to the eve of WWII might resemble Victoria currently is very difficult to say.

combine that with the fact that the old engine is now avialable for additional outsourcer development, and my hunch is that while you'll get some new expansions to Victoria as a result (with yours truly here in the beginning stages of such a project) I don't think Paradox will develop a Victoria II per se with the new engine, but rather a new title based on the time period with different mechanics.

OH Gamer,


I was confident that now it would be the turn of a Victorian era game but I was very disappointed to know that instead they are releasing a fantasy type game "Majesty 2". I think most of the Paradox gamers are used to play historical geopolitical type of games and love them. However, as they have also released the old engine I am again hopeful that you would create a great expansion and there is something to look forward to. It will keep us involved with the games we love and may be in the meantime Paradox releases a Victorian era game with a new title by 2009! Only Johan knows

Note that the Majesty sequel is being developed by another studio and only published by Paradox
