Victoria 3: Colossus of the South Region Pack drops next month

Paradox Interactive has revealed a new region pack is on the way for Grand Strategy title Victoria 3. In the Colossus of the South region pack, players will face challenges as they seek to lead Brazil through a rise of power after being freed from the domination of Europe.

Build a New Hemispheric Power

Launching alongside the DLC pack is update 1.5. The massive update will rework warfare, companies, and how local prices works in Victoria 3. According to the video for the DLC, this is the biggest update to military, economy, and diplomacy in the grand strategy title yet.

The Colossus of the South region pack is a narrative-driven pack centered around the Amazon River as South America enters the Victorian Age. Features of the pack include:

• Reign of Pedro II: Historical actions highlighting the reforms and ambitions of Brazil’s Emperor Pedro the Magnanimous, including the abolition of slavery and the modernization of Brazil’s economy.
• The Old Republic: The power of Brazilian landowners and the emergence of the Positivist revolution against the monarchy.
• Populism: Challenges to the agrarian oligarchy in Brazil from anti-government bandits and the populist Integralist movement.
• National Awareness: Development of a unique and diverse Brazilian culture, as well as expansionist goals in Paraguay, South American unification from Gran Colombia, and Pan-National movements of the Federation of the Andes and Rio de la Plata.
• Amazonian Riches: Exploit the riches of the Amazon while avoiding international conflict and national disorder.
• New Historical Characters: Coup leader and general Deodora da Fonseca, populist dictator Getulio Vargas, and more.
• More content for South America: New events and journal entries and flavor for many countries in the region!

I played Victoria 3 when it originally launched and while I enjoyed it, I really had a hard time figuring out some of the things that were going on. Apparently a lot of that has been fleshed out since, so this region pack seems like a great time for me to jump back in and give it another shake.

Victoria 3: Colossus of the South releases on November 14 for $5.99. Players who purchased the Grand Edition or have a subscription to the Victoria 3 Expansion Pass will be able to access the region pack at no additional cost.
