Three years of Victoria 3

A Word From The Victoria 3 Team

Happy anniversary, Victorians! It has now been three years since Victoria 3 released and it has been quite the journey. Taking a look at where we stand now, with a growing and thriving game, makes me want to reflect back a little on my own experience of the years that have passed. Of course, for me it's been far more than three years - in fact, as of 2025, I've spent over half my total time at Paradox as Game Director on Victoria 3. It has never been the easiest or most straightforward game to work with, but I can say with complete certainty that it has been, by far, the most personally fulfilling.

When I started designing this game, it was always with an understanding that there is just nothing quite like the Victoria games out there, and with the personal goal to create the best damn socioeconomic-geopolitical-national-gardening-simulator I possibly could. I made mistakes along the way, and will undoubtedly continue making them, but my goal remains the same. In this I have been helped immensely along the way by you, our wonderful community, with all of your passion, thoughtfulness, feedback and suggestions. I have always felt that you, as a whole, share my overall goal, however much we might disagree about how to get there.

If all this sounds to you like I am about to pass the reins, then you couldn't be more wrong! I haven't gotten to make nearly enough market reworks yet to even start to feel done with Victoria 3, let alone the individual currency system that me and maybe two other people in the entire world are excitedly anticipating (but which sadly will probably have to wait a long while yet...). So, I'm afraid that you're simply stuck with me, and personally, I couldn't be more excited and thrilled for the years to come!
