Paradox Interactive's Announcement Show 2023

Paradox Announcement Show 2023

Multiple game announcements, new expansions, DLCs and game updates!

At least three new game announcements - including “the next title from Cities: Skylines developer Colossal Order”. Something entirely new? Or the community hoped for Cities: Skylines 2?!

And how significant is that “Presented by Xbox” tagline?

Live now. Summary, highlights, and trailers to follow.

Harebrained Schemes releasing brand new game: The Lamplighters League: And the Tower at the End of the World.

A new tactical turn-based strategy game set in an alternate version of 1933 from the developer of BattleTech. Coming in 2023 for PC and Xbox.

Strategy Meets Story, in Style

  • Control a team of unique, dynamic characters and get to know their signature tactical abilities and roles in the team. Learn their stories and the world they inhabit by taking them on missions - every misfit brings their own style to the fight through unique moves that can turn the tide of combat.
  • Explore a variety of thrilling locales and survey the battlefield before things heat up: sneak past enemies in real-time infiltration gameplay, pick off the stragglers quickly and quietly, and position your squad to get an edge for the fight.
  • Use every advantage and dirty trick your agents have up their sleeves in exciting, turn-based combat. Add advanced abilities, gear, and augmentations to your agents to keep pace with the growing threat of the Banished Court!

Race Against the Countdown to Doomsday

  • Chase the Banished Court through an alternate-history world of the 1930s, from dockyards and deserts to jungles both urban and wild. Manage your choices at a global level and try to prevent your enemy from advancing their twisted schemes!
  • Recruit new allies from the best of the worst: scour the globe for outlaws and outcasts and bring them onto your side before the Banished Court catches them first!
  • Every mission earns your team new resources and grows their abilities - but be careful, stress and injury can take their toll!
