WW2 grand strategy game Hearts of Iron 4 is cooking big Axis and Allies changes

Despite building Steam’s leading WW2 grand strategy game, Hearts of Iron 4 developer Paradox refuses to rest on its laurels. Over nine years since it was first launched, the highly detailed World War II management sim boasts a 91%-positive rating on the Valve store from over 240,000 combined user reviews. As it nears double digits, Paradox has big plans for HoI 4, including a full redesign to the way factions work to make them more engaging. In a new developer blog, design manager ‘Wrongwraith’ walks us through what that might look like for the two biggest players, the Axis and Allies.
