The Ottoman Empire and the Balkans will come to Victoria 3 in September with the release of the National Awakening Immersion Pack. Starting September 23rd, strategy players can learn more about historical events related to the Balkan Wars, the Great Eastern Crisis, and the potential collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
The expansion is part of Expansion Pass 2, so owners will receive the new content as part of that purchase. However, those who don’t own the expansion pass can purchase the new content as a standalone product. At the moment, there is no set price point, but the expansion can be wishlisted on Steam. Keep in mind that the base game is required to play the expansion.
Victoria 3: National Awakening features
