Paradox has announced what’s included in the second expansion pass for Hearts of Iron IV. Here’s a look at what players can expect:
- Seaplane Tenders (cosmetic package) – unit art for the often-forgotten class of ships, featuring Japanese, Australian, and American seaplane tenders. It will be a bonus that we receive immediately after purchasing Expansion Pass 2.
- No Compromise, No Surrender (expansion) – the expansion will focus on countries such as Japan, China, and the Philippines, and will introduce new military doctrines, an expanded faction system, additional features, and quality of life improvements.
- Warships of the Pacific (cosmetic pack) – will include unit arts for new naval ships, from agile destroyers to powerful battleships, representing warships from many countries around the world.
- Thunder at Our Gates (Theatre Pack) – will focus on countries such as Australia, Siam, and Indonesia. In the DLC, we will find not only new and updated skill trees but also additional features such as military headquarters and navy captains.
- Peace for Our Time (Focus Pack) – will offer new, alternative historical paths for Czechoslovakia. They gave an example where the White Lion from Prague was all set to take on the German aggression.
Paradox Interactive seems to have misjudged the reaction to their second Expansion Pass. Many players are frustrated, claiming the company isn’t listening to their feedback and is prioritizing unnecessary features. One Reddit user pointed out the irony of the expansion’s title, *No Compromise, No Surrender*, suggesting it reflects Paradox’s unwillingness to address the broken conditional surrender system, which is currently ineffective in single-player games. A dedicated player reported spending over two thousand hours in *Hearts of Iron IV* without ever finding the feature useful.
Many players are complaining about the cost of the new content. Expansion Pass 2 is priced at $48.77, which is roughly 30% more expensive than the original expansion. This high price is especially frustrating for fans, as they’re worried the new downloadable content won’t be worth the money. The previous major expansion, Graveyard of Empires, was poorly received (currently with only 15% positive reviews on Steam), and the developers haven’t shown much interest in fixing its problems.
Players are frustrated with Paradox Interactive. Recently, the company announced plans to include content from a previously purchased expansion in a new update, and fans reacted negatively. When players asked on Reddit if they would receive a refund for the original DLC, a developer bluntly replied, “No.”
