Paradox Announces Release Date for Hearts of Iron IV: Man the Guns

Paradox Interactive announced the release date for Hearts of Iron IV's upcoming expansion Man the Guns, which will take players to the seas on February 28, 2019.

Man the Guns brings new detail to the naval aspect game as well as adding a host of new gameplay options for major democratic powers including new political focus trees and governments in exile. Which means, you can now have a better Navy to complement your WWII-based deep-strategy experience. Because HOI is a Paradox game, players have the opportunity to live out their favorite historical fantasies for the second World War, either playing out the historical campaign or setting up a future ruled by Authoritarianism. As naval warfare was a large part of the conflict, Man the Guns gives players access to a whole different arena of battle and makes things more realistic.

Which is what HOI fans live for. The full list of features for Hearts of Iron IV: Man the Guns include:

• Major Alternate Paths: Revive the Old Confederacy as the United States and provoke a new civil war, or hasten decolonization of the British Empire.
• Ship Design: Research new components and refit older vessels to take advantage of new knowledge. Outfit your submarines with snorkels or improved stealth.
• Admiral Traits and Skills – Tailor and level up your Admirals with new traits and skills.
• Governments in Exile: Welcome a government in exile to your democracy, boosting their legitimacy in return for more manpower and elite troops fighting to free their homeland.
• Other National Focuses: New national focuses for The Netherlands and Mexico.
• Naval Mines: Protect your coasts from invasion or assault with anti-ship mines, or clear a path through enemy mines before you make the big push.
• Shipping route controls – plot new routes for your shipping and navies by marking areas you want to avoid.
• Naval Treaties: Struggle to keep the peace by following internationally agreed upon rules, or creatively defy the world consensus by exceeding your limits.
• Amphibious Landing Vehicles: Add power to your beach landing by researching and producing specialized combat vehicles for your marines.
• New Music: Original music composed specifically for the Man the Guns expansion.

Man the Guns can be pre-ordered from the Paradox store or other major online retailers for $19.99 USD. It will launch on PC on February 28, 2019.
