While there have been regular rumors about a Paradox Fantasy IP I really hope that Paradox will roll with it once. It could be interesting and they could focus on things that they didn't have in other games. For me such a game could go mostly two directions:

  • A more roleplaying-heavy game in the direction of CK3 or even deeper.
  • Or an Empire-Builder like Stellaris.
For the first direction I could imagine a game that is more of a combination of CK3 and some Sims-like Elements. You could have a game with a character focus instead of a nation or realm focus which could be a rather interesting take for a PDX-game. It would be niche but it could be really fun as you wouldn't have to focus on your empire or the survival of that one for once in a PDX-game but the survival of your character in a Fantasy Realm.

For the second direction. Well it is already in it's name. Make it like Stellaris or a similar Empire expansion game with focus on your race, empire or realm. It could work with a deeper race creator as in Stellaris and maybe randomized realms like in Civ if we take another game franchise for example.

What are your hopes for a fantasy IP of Paradox. Which directions should it go or which things should be avoided according to your opinion?
