Paradox Arc, the publishing initiative started in 2022 to elevate new deep, endless, replayable games from smaller developers, announced two new games:

Mechabellum, is a sci-fi auto-battler game where players compete with ever-growing armies of mechs, robots, and heavy weapons.

Paradox Arc is proud to present Mechabellum, a massive mech autobattler from independent developer Game River.

Three titles in the Paradox library revealed new expansions coming in 2023:

Crusader Kings III: Tours and Tournaments will add new actions and adventures for characters, with new ways to gain prestige at home and abroad

In Crusader Kings III: Tours and Tournaments, the map comes alive with new possibilities as your realm becomes the host of great celebrations and great tournaments. Pilgrimages to holy religious sites are joined by more secular travel, including grand tours of the realm where your ruler can get a first-hand account of what is happening in their lands.

Tours and Tournaments is full of things your character can do to increase their prestige or their abilities. Not everything is safe, but with great risk comes the potential for great renown as your character hunts large game, travels to far-off lands, or engages in mock combat.

Tours and Tournaments will be released this spring, alongside a major free update available for all Crusader Kings III players. This update will include the new Activity menu with updated interactions for pilgrimages, feasts and hunts, as well as more intricate management of regency relations. Major changes to vassal relations and domain management are also included in this update.

Europa Universalis IV: Domination expands and improves content for some of the game’s most popular and powerful nations

The story of the early modern world is largely the story of imperial growth and colliding ambitions. England, France, and Spain battle for power in the New World to fuel hegemony in the Old World. The established Ottomans are confronted by a new rising power in Russia. In Asia, the old Chinese and Japanese empires fight centuries of inertia in search of centralized authority. Now, in Europa Universalis IV: Domination, you can rediscover the histories of these great powers with updated historical detail.

Domination is a new expansion pack for Paradox Interactive’s classic grand strategy game about the rise and fall of empires from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolutions. In Domination, many of the most popular and powerful nations are getting updated mission trees and other historical details, in an add-on with true global reach and multiple new alternate histories.

Domination also includes new art and music alongside a rich menu of new historical detail, adding more flavorful estates, reforms, special units, and events to the leading powers.

Europa Universalis IV: Domination will be accompanied by a major update to the game, free for all Europa Universalis IV players.

Surviving the Aftermath: Rebirth offers a chance to truly reshape and regrow the devastated earth through terraforming and more

Paradox Interactive and Iceflake Studios today announced Rebirth, the third expansion for their survival colony builder, Surviving the Aftermath. Rebirth introduces terraforming, giving players the power to modify and revitalize the environment for their colonists. An infectious threat has also appeared, so use your knowledge, tools, and specialized buildings to protect the world you have just restored. Surviving the Aftermath: Rebirth launches on March 16th for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC at a suggested retail price of 14.99 USD / 12.79 GBP / 14.99 EUR.

Building upon years of knowledge, skills, and leadership, humankind is ready to move forward and reclaim Earth after the apocalyptic event. Standing between the colonists and prosperity is the Blight, a fungal infestation brought about by radioactive contamination. Find a cure for Blight by collecting samples, utilizing advanced facilities, and modifying your surroundings with terraforming. As your environment returns to a greener and more vibrant state, suppress this infectious, ecological danger and look toward a brighter future.

Paradox Arc is proud to present Mechabellum, a massive mech autobattler from independent developer Game River. In Mechabellum, players will power up and place massive armies of unique mechs in PvP auto-battles against another player or the AI. Massive battles unfold with tremendously explosive firepower, and victory will go to the player who remembers to always think one mech ahead.
Create and Command your Army: From the nimble Wasp light aircraft to the massive Vulcan, learn the strengths and weaknesses of a large number of unique mechs. Customize them and their abilities before you go to war to maximize their destructive power.

Counter for Victory: Anticipate your enemy and strategically place your mechs on the battlefield. Counter your opponent’s moves by choosing the perfect unit combination as the battle unfolds.
Turn the Tide with Special Abilities: Turn a losing battle into a winning one by calling down the perfectly placed airstrike, or spread chaos by calling in a horde of crawler bots in the midst of your enemy’s army.
Massive Battles: Watch shrapnel, incendiary bombs, and huge lasers cut through the air as battles between massive armies of mechs unfold in front of your eyes.
