Set in early 20th century Europe, this PC adaptation brings the power struggles of seven mighty nations to life like never before. Its abstracted and simple gameplay puts the focus on the need for shrewd negotiations and overall strategy.

"We have a very large and dedicated fan base and we normally select our BETA testers exclusively from this group. However, with Diplomacy having such a wide appeal and managing to attract casual gamers as well as hardcore strategy gamers, we want to make sure all these groups are given the chance to contribute" says Johan Andersson, Producer at Paradox Interactive. "The development process is reaching its most exciting peak and we can't wait to get started!"

Diplomacy is scheduled for release later this fall and will bring the power struggles of seven mighty nations to life like never before. For more information on the application process please visit:
