Paradox Interactive has expanded to a new studio opening in Barcelona. The studio, Paradox Tinto, will be headed by Johan Andersson- creator of the original Europa Universalis, the grand strategy game series most famous from the publisher/developer.
Paradox Tinto will continue to support Europa Universalis IV- first released in 2013 and to this day still getting expansions and free updates.
“People love our games and we love the fact that we are growing to create more for them, we’re particularly pleased to expand for the first time with a new studio focusing on the core game genre we’re famous for: grand strategy,” said Charlotta Nilsson, Chief Operations Officer at Paradox Interactive.
Paradox Tinto will not only be trusted with EU IV, as they are already planning to develop new grand strategy games in the future.
“My goal is to assemble a team and create a fully functional studio to keep on developing the Europa Universalis brand, and later design and develop new grand strategy games,” said Johan Andersson, Studio Manager at Paradox Tinto.
Paradox’s next new grand strategy game is Crusader Kings III, set to be released later in September.
