On 12 June 2022, a gameplay trailer for the game was released. In April 2022, a beta version of the game was leaked online on 4chan. Martin "Wiz" Anward is the current game director of the development. In the lead up to the game's announcement, Victoria 3 was seen as a ' meme' by the Paradox fanbase due to players constantly asking about it, only to be ignored, with many joking that it would never see a release or that any mention of the number 'three' from an official Paradox source meant that the game was on the way. Designer Mikael Andersson explained that this system was designed with the intent to deemphasise the role of warfare by making diplomacy equally as capable. If no diplomatic resolution is reached before the timer runs out, war will be declared.
Following this exchange of demands, a timer will begin counting down as both sides have a chance to mobilise troops and attract potential allies by offering spoils. When attempting to force other countries to concede land or opening markets players will present a target country with a demand detailing what they desire, which will result in the target country having the opportunity to demand concessions from the aggressor. Īnother system getting added is the new system of 'Diplomatic Plays ' a system that borrows heavily from Victoria II 's crisis system. Pops possess a variety of interests with different ideologies that the player deals with. The game focuses on politics and demographics, with gameplay focusing on appealing to and appeasing population groups ("pops"), large blocks of people with shared interests. Victoria 3 spans world history from 1836 to 1936 and allows the player to control one of over 100 countries that existed during that time period.
