About This Content

Command the waves in a time of ambition and upheaval. Design mighty warships, guard the world’s straits, and employ gunboat diplomacy to bend lesser powers to your will.

Use the power of your navy in order to dominate local rivals and keep foreign threats at bay.

Guide Japan through the last days of the Shogunate, navigating turmoil at home and pressure from abroad as you forge a modern power ready to challenge the greatest empires of the day.

Victoria 3: The Great Wave includes new content related to:

  • Ship Designer: Design and construct a fleet according to your country’s strategic needs. Build powerful but expensive ocean-travelling warships to influence other nations, or build an efficient fleet designed to keep your coasts safe.

  • Flagships: Customize your very own pride of the fleet and let it lead your navy to prestigious victories.

  • Ship purchase treaties: Sell your ships to other countries across the globe, and draw profit from your ship building capabilities.

  • Gunboat Diplomacy options: Use your fleet to influence other countries in new diplomatic actions.

  • Narrative content:

    • Steer Japan through the social and political tumults of the late Edo period, characterized by increased challenges to Tokugawa samurai rule. Adapt to or revolt against a changing domestic and international landscape, and reform the country to see your vision through.

    • Contend with the entry of Japan onto the world stage, and best the Western powers at their own game. Use your navy to extend the reach of Japan beyond the home islands, and compete for land and influence with your powerful neighbours.

  • New historical characters.

  • Art: New clothing assets, a Japanese building style, UI skin, map, and table assets.

  • Music: New period appropriate music tracks evoking Japan’s rich culture.
