Paradox Interactive
Paradox Interactive, the global PC strategy games publisher behind critically acclaimed games Crusader Kings II, War of the Roses and Magicka, have announced they are branching out to book publishing with a new e-book initiative called “Paradox Books”.
“We’ve spent more than a decade creating and telling compelling stories through our computer games, stories that have engaged and captivated people from all parts of the globe, and books are just another medium to get those stories out there and engage with our audience,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “Add to that the fact that our company was founded on pen and paper role-playing games and books, and that we have several published authors amongst our ranks here at Paradox, so this felt like a very natural progression for us.”
The initial six titles have just been joined by a seventh: the new strategy guide for Europa Universalis IV. Several more titles have been signed and will be distributed in the months to come. The books will broach everything from biographical behind the scenes books to game strategy guides to fiction and novels.
