Fancy watching the developers of Paradox’s Naval War: Arctic Circle play their game? I know Super Bowl vs Wrestlemania is on tonight, while they’re also projecting the World Cup final onto the full moon and fixing the Earth’s rotation so the moon stays overhead for the duration of the game. But if you can’t make it to the Battle of the Megashows AND if it’s cloudy, Paradox are streaming a live demonstration of their strategic ship simulator. You won’t even need 4D specs to see it.

Periscopes Up For Naval War: Arctic Circle

Ships Ahoy: Naval War: Arctic Circle
By Jim Rossignol on January 14th, 2012.
Paradox’s near-future naval war scenario got its first developer diary last night, and you can see that below. Naval War: Arctic Circle pitches modern navies against each other in a battle for resources at the top of the world, and judging by this video it’s going to go pretty heavy on the strategy. And that’s good, because we don’t want any of this strategy-lite, with half the mind-calories of normal strategy. We want it all-encompassing, choking our neural pathways with nothing-else-to-think gloopy challenge. Mmm.
The game is out in the Spring.

Perhaps Beta Test Naval War: Arctic Circle?
By Jim Rossignol on October 25th, 2011.
What is Naval War: Arctic Circle? Paradox reckon it’s a “Real Time Strategy (RTS) game where the player battles enemy naval and aerial forces for power and ultimate world domination,” and I believe them. Those of you for whom world domination, and also meticulous naval strategy, is of interest, might fancy some time trying it out in the beta test, which can be signed up for right here.
Naval War: Arctic Circle is out in “Q2″ of next year, and there’s a trailer in the icy depths below.

A Look Sea: Arctic Circle Detailed, Video
By Quintin Smith on February 17th, 2011.
Paradox has officially announced Naval War: Arctic Circle, the contemporary and atmospheric wargame I saw and briefly mentioned in my Preview Blowout following the Paradox Convention in New York last month. We’ve got hot’n'fresh details, another screenshot and a developer interview video after the jump. Won’t you join me for a little “naval” gazing? Aha, ha.
The Paradox Convention Preview Blowout
By Quintin Smith on January 24th, 2011.
Last week I was in New York, eating pizza and inventing all-new comparative metaphors for how cold it was (“colder than Bobby Kotick’s eyes”, “colder than a Game Gear’s battery”, “colder than a handjob from an eel”). Why? Because last week was the yearly Paradox Convention, where journalists are invited to meet a whole bag of developers and look at all of Paradox’s upcoming releases.
In short, we’ve got even more to look forward to in 2011 than we thought. I’ll be going through these at top speed, so put on your protective goggles and we’ll take a look. Do I have to remind you of the boy who once read a succinct article of mine and lost an eye? No? Good.
