Paradox be Paradoxin'
Paradox announced the news with a video featuring Alex Skidmore, creative director at The Chinese Room, and Mattias Lilja, deputy CEO at Paradox.
“Earlier this year, Paradox reaffirmed our commitment to delivering high-quality games to our players, and the launch update is a proactive decision derived from this commitment,” saida statement accompanying the delay. “Though the game is in a good enough place that we could have maintained our planned release window, Paradox and The Chinese Room collaboratively decided to prioritize polish.”
The announcement seems designed to reassure the waiting public that the game is on the home stretch, with only “polish” to be done, but in this case polish isn’t limited to bug fixes but also seems to include additional content, more story, more endings, diversified clan combat, and more.
Paradox have had a rough year, stretching from the$22 million flop of Lamplighters League, thebuggy launchandrushed DLCof Cities Skylines 2, the last-minutecancellation of Life By You, and theindefinite delay of Prison Architect 2.
Those stumbles led to Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester to admit the company had made the"wrong calls" in several major projects, while reporting falling profits.
