Götterdämmerung Expansion Transforms German Strategy
Thought crippled by the settlement of the last war, a strong Germany has returned as the axis of power in Central Europe. This strength only heightens the resentment for what is thought to have been a historic injustice. But history is not written in stone. What path will Germany take in your hands? Can you revitalize socialist resistance to the Fascist regime? Will German might take its shape under a revived monarchy? Brace yourself for the gathering storm and write a new history of the world’s most dangerous years in Götterdämmerung, a new expansion for Hearts of Iron IV, coming on November 14.
This addition to Paradox Interactive’s popular strategic wargame focuses on the key player of the Second World War – the Germany Reich. Through new National Focus Trees, people can steer this great power through years of armed struggle against ideological foes. This expansion also revises special research projects – like rocketry and atomic weapons – and offers new combat options.
