Hearts of Iron 3 development complete

Paradox Interactive announced that production has been completed on Hearts of Iron 3 - or, as we like to say in the news department - the game has gone gold. The third installment of the World War II-themed grand strategy series, Hearts of Iron 3 is ready for release North American retail shelves and all major digital download portals on August 7. The game will hit stores in the UK and Scandinavia on August 14 and Germany and France on August 28.

Featuring turn-based battle simulations that occur throughout 1936-1948, Hearts of Iron 3 will promises to appeal to both veteran players and newcomers with brand new features, including a game map with more than 14,000 land and sea provinces. Players will have the opportunity to take control of countries ranging from larger superpowers such as Russia or the United States, to smaller nations such as Costa Rica.
