Paradox Interactive has released a new music pack for Victoria 3, called “Melodies for the Masses.” which they say is intended to tell the story of the evolution of peasant and farm life in the 19th century, with songs inspired by the simple but hard lives of workers and farmers before the industrial revolution with nearly an hour of original music composed for the game.
The release of “Melodies for the Masses” is simultaneous with the launch of the much-awaited 1.2 update for Victoria 3 (you can read the extensive changelog here) which has been in open beta for a month, during which a record-breaking number of Victoria 3 players engaged in playtests and delivered feedback. The 1.2 update includes major changes to the trade interface, new military and diplomatic options and features, along with a brand new music player, and other general improvements.
The new music pack celebrates the common people, their struggles, and their hard work, providing an immersive experience for Victoria 3 players. The update, along with the new music player, enhances the gaming experience and offers more options and features for players to explore.
