[Victoria 3](https://after-strategy.com/en/jeux/victoria-3/) is a historical grand strategy video game developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. It was released in 2022. The new Victoria installment covers the historical period 1836 to 1936, just like its predecessor Victoria 2. The game focuses on the industrial revolution era and the great upheavals that took place during this period... Colonizations, colonial races but also popular revolutions — challenges abound in the Victoria universe. Victoria 3 is expected to take up most of its predecessors' mechanics, but reworked and modernized. If you like what could be called total strategy, Victoria is for you! In Victoria, every layer of society is covered. Diplomacy and war of course. But the political simulation is extremely deep. Social evolution of the population, religious conflicts, immigration and the fight for civil rights are at the heart of the game's intrigue. The economy is also at the heart of the game. Choices in industrial development, taxes or customs duties directly influence the construction of more or less profitable factories, which will later allow you to dominate your rivals. In short, Victoria is among the ultimate strategy/management games. Even if getting to grips with this kind of game can take a while, given their complexity, Victoria and its competitors offer virtually infinite gameplay possibilities. The little bonus, as often with Paradox, the game will certainly be accompanied by a myriad of mods quite quickly. ## Watch the game's latest trailer https://www.youtube.com/embed/5ftmdd1g4hE ## Discover some images of the game ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (1)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_7b879d797011096d290ac3a72724593ad257de27-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (2)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_7bc780419afb9d70c50b111350f2f4ffd6929a73-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (3)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_9bc132724e50d4287e84f6ec10f4f0830a71ad65-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (4)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_45ea8e7772a064339e3ba608f2bc21b1685604c2-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (5)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_83ea2cae8f40f9358a8e0a405b0ec595d627929f-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (6)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_8138b469e607a549d8a5bff761160dab89eef41f-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (7)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_bc34110a48361c7232063830f1ae7467a0d07bff-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (8)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_d6c4af0150eee39e868201386238c20cc880d464-1024x576.webp) ![Victoria 3 — official game screenshot (9)](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/victoria-3/ss_ed194969a595606fe6f16dcb991084e19092156c-1024x576.webp) Source images: Steam Victoria 3 remains one of the most complete grand strategy simulations of the 19th and early 20th centuries: industrialization, diplomacy, colonization and internal politics are all simulated in depth.
