Rise of Prussia

NEW YORK – February 10, 2010 – Paradox Interactive and AGEOD released a new video interview with Game Director, Philippe Thibaut, delving into the companies’ upcoming military strategy game, Rise of Prussia, and set the game’s release for March 9 via major digital distribution outlets.

Rise of Prussia takes players to an 18th-Century military conflict seldom covered in games or popular culture, placing them in charge of one of two sides involved in the Seven Years’ War. The development team’s focus on historical accuracy is evident throughout the game, as players lead the Prussian-British coalition or the alliance of Austria, Russia, France and others into battle. Can they repeat history and lead the Prussians to victory, or will one of the bloodiest conflicts of its time end differently in the player’s hands?

More information about Rise of Prussia will be revealed as the release date approaches.
