Paradox Interactive is set to turn the spotlight toward the Iberian Peninsula with its latest Victoria 3 immersion pack — Iberian Twilight. Launching on December 11, 2025, this new expansion dives into the political turmoil, reformist movements, and imperial legacies of Spain and Portugal during the 19th century.
The early 1800s saw both empires lose the majority of their American territories, plunging them into economic instability and internal strife. Iberian Twilight challenges players to stabilize their fractured nations and restore them to greatness — or forge entirely new paths in an age of revolution and industrialization.

What’s New in Iberian Twilight
This immersive new pack expands Victoria 3’s already rich historical simulation with unique Journal missions, events, and art assets inspired by Iberian history. From political upheaval to colonial competition, every choice will shape the destiny of Spain and Portugal across a century of transformation.
Spain – The Empire in Decline
Once the grandest empire on earth, Spain begins the 19th century reeling from the loss of its colonies and the chaos of civil war. In Iberian Twilight, players can:
- Choose a side in the Carlist Wars – embrace liberal reform or support the royalist counter-revolution.
- Rebuild alliances with former colonies or attempt to reclaim influence overseas.
- Modernize national institutions and ignite an industrial revolution in Catalonia and the Basque Country.
- Navigate foreign interference as rival powers seek to influence Spain’s monarchy.
- Guide nations in Spain’s orbit — including Cuba, the Philippines, and Morocco — through an age of change.
Portugal – Between Empires and Ambition
Across the border, Portugal faces its own identity crisis. Emerging from the War of the Two Brothers, players must balance domestic recovery with colonial ambition. Key features include:
- Rebuild Portugal after civil conflict and determine its political direction.
- Expand influence across Africa and pursue the famous Pink Map dream — linking territories across the continent.
- Forge deep ties with Brazil, creating new opportunities for trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange.
- Develop overseas outposts in Goa and Macao, preserving Portugal’s legacy in Asia.
Unite the Peninsula – The Iberian Dream
For those with a grander vision, Iberian Twilight introduces the ability to pursue Iberism — a bold political ideology that seeks to unite Spain and Portugal under one flag. Will you forge a new pan-Iberian nation or preserve the unique heritage of each state?
New Art, Events, and Monuments
The immersion pack also introduces a suite of new visual and cultural content:
- Authentic new buildable monuments and unit models.
- A refreshed paper map and stylish UI skin for immersive play.
- Unique event illustrations and historical characters tailored to the Iberian region.

Victoria 3 Iberian Twilight launches on December 11, 2025 for a suggested retail price of $9.99 / £8.50 / €9.99. The pack will be available via all major platforms where Victoria 3 is sold.
