STOCKHOLM - 23 January 2020 - The codes have been cracked and your agents are ready to move. The enemy will do their best to uncover your mission, but youve been preparing for this day for months.

Paradox Development Studio is ready to announce that La Rsistance, the next expansion to Hearts of Iron IV, will be available for all generals and spymasters on February 25, 2020.
