Victoria 3 is looking to Russia for its next expansion with “State and Revolution.” Set to release on October 22, 2026, in Paradox Interactive’s grand strategy game and global societal sim from 1836 to 1936, the “State and Revolution” immersion pack for Victoria 3 brings deeper historical flavor and content for the Russian Empire.
About Victoria 3, we said, “Victoria 3 is a game that requires patience and homework, but once you get the hang of things, it can be tons of fun. The game offers so much variety, both in terms of ways to play and succeed, and in the unique challenges across the array of nations to choose from.”
What is Victoria 3: State and Revolution about?
The “State and Revolution” immersion pack is bringing Tsarist Russia even more depth in Victoria 3. In this new immersion pack, players’ Tsars‘ personalities and characters will affect their power at court, while their choices as a monarchy through policy will shape the terms of revolution as players approach the late game with the Russian Empire. You can prop up the monarchy and the state, or you can side with the revolution and the people.
You can find the flavor description of the newest Victoria 3 DLC below:
For centuries, the Romanov tsars kept a firm hand on the reins of power in Russia. The court ran all policy and planning, with tsars and royal favorites directing the future of an empire with immense wealth and potential, only hesitantly unlocked by a conservative ruling class.
But the changes of the 19th century threaten to topple an increasingly brittle system, as new technologies, national awakenings and political ideologies point to a different and possibly better future for the millions under Russian rule. Which side will you choose?
The immersion pack will also add new, updated visual effects to indicate seasonal changes across the globe, new historical characters, new Cosmetic Content including a new building style, character assets, interface and map skin, and table assets, and finally new Music inspired by Russian imperial and revolutionary ambitions.
