\nVictoria 3, the latest entry in Paradox Interactive’s long-dormant society builder series, has been given a release date and is coming to PC and Xbox Game Pass for PC on 25th October.\n<\/p>\n

\nHere, the focus is on building up the economic machinery of your state and country at the height of industrialisation – a process primarily achieved by tweaking and tinkering within your own borders, managing your people and fulfilling their needs to address political and societal challenges and deal with diplomacy further afield.\n<\/p>\n
