Paradox Interactive has unveiled the next major expansion to its grand strategy wargame Hearts of Iron 4 as Gotterdammerung, a "German-themed" add-on that "aims to tie together existing research systems with a new experimental research mechanic" that enables the pursuit of both historical projects and more fanciful, "less historical" wunderwaffe.
"Germany will be receiving a totally revised historical national focus tree and a host of new alternate historical paths," Paradox said in the Gotterdammerung announcement. "We’ll go into further detail about exactly what is coming here, but we’ve put a high premium on retaining the core feeling that Germany’s old tree gave the player: a sense that they are the protagonist in the events leading up to the war; that the conflict revolves around their actions."
