Mount & Blade

Happy Birthday Paradox Interactive! Ten years dedicated to delivering a wide variety of strategy titles to the PC market is something well worth celebrating. Prior to today I was not certain how a decade of existence was celebrated in Sweden (I would perhaps have hazarded a guess at "cake"), but every day is an education in the gaming world and I now know that the correct method of commemorating such an important occasion is to give a big fat present to everyone else in the form of a 50% discount on all current releases!

The discount applies to sales through most major digital distribution services (including Steam), and applies to the entire Paradox catalogue, including the popular medieval sim, Mount & Blade, turn-based fantasy title Elven Legacy, and the celebrated Europe Universalis III and its prequels and expansions. While you're at it, you can snap up early entries in the Hearts of Iron and Penumbra series.


Elven Legacy, Penumbra Collection and Europa Universalis III.
Sadly, the deal doesn't apply to preorders on Hearts of Iron III or East India Company (you will have to pay full price for the delicious Pirate Bay campaign), but the range of sale items is unsurprisingly large given its representation of a large slice of ten years. Paradox have rightfully earned their place as a top name in the strategy scene, and it's well worth running a search through your favourite download portal for Paradox-published titles; fans of the genre are sure to uncover a number of lesser-known gems worth taking a gamble on at half-price. The deal lasts until the 26th of July, so get your cracking to take advantage of a thrifty gift!
