Paradox Interactive have announced that Hearts of Iron IV is getting a big new expansion in Götterdämmerung on November 14th, and they're bringing the whole Expansion Pass idea from other games to Hearts of Iron IV as well.

For the new Expansion Pass you get a 20% overall discount versus buying individually and the first pass will give you all of these:

  • Instant unlock of three new 3d tank models and a music track.
  • The Götterdämmerung expansion (Nov 14th 2024).
  • The Graveyard of Empires country pack (Q1 2025).
  • Prototype Vehicles unit pack (Q3 2025).

As for Götterdämmerung itself it's very much focused on Germany, which Paradox said is "something many of you have been clamouring for for many years". Sounds like a great addition to the game with a super-weapons feature and so this expansion is also giving you some new special tools. As Paradox developer said:

War drives all sorts of technological innovation in an attempt to out-do opponents and although many projects ultimately never saw the battlefield, Götterdämmerung aims to tie together existing research systems with a new experimental research mechanic that allows for both historical and less historical but plausible super-projects to be pursued. The research process will become an important part of gameplay, with scientists, map-located experimental facilities, and supporting infrastructure all combining to produce a wide variety of outcomes that can augment your forces or change the very nature of the war you are fighting.
