This new expansion for Paradox Interactive’s World War II grand strategy wargame adds new alternate history options and gameplay variety for three nations, as well as other significant changes.
Features of Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone include
New Italian Focus Tree: Follow the historical path of Mussolini’s Italy or rewrite history by restoring power to the monarchy, leading a Communist revolution or promoting democracy.
New Ethiopian Focus Tree: Defy the odds to defeat the Italian invader or resist the conqueror from abroad using unique Government in Exile abilities.
New Swiss Focus Tree: Surrounded by France, Germany and Italy, the mountain nation of Switzerland finds strength in its neutrality, balancing competing factions and overtures from the great powers.
New Peace Conference Options: Demilitarize zones of the map or entire nations, bid on the capital ships of defeated powers, or claim control of enemy resources or factories as reparations.
Aircraft Designer: Design and build your own planes, from nimble interceptors that prioritize speed to durable bombers crafted to unload tons of destruction from high above.
Unit Medals: A log of each division’s accomplishments lets you track their performance, and even allows you to award unique medals to division commanders for their actions in the field.
Embargo Interaction: Embargo your enemies with a new diplomatic interaction, preventing them from trading with you if they have generated enough world tension.

Celebrate the Spring by Draining Yuplay’s Profit
Spring time always comes with a sense of freshness and revitalization, so we decided to take a risk make a special storewide promotion that would absolutely kill our profit (and probably get our boss angry). All you have to do to participate is make an order of at least 20€ between 17.03.2026 15:00 CET and 23.03.2026 15:00 CET, and you will get a FREE game coming straight out of our pockets…
Even though Friday the 13th is widely considered as an unlucky date, we at YUPLAY are trying to flip the script for that and turn it into a lucky day for you and this time is not an exception to the rule! We are delighted to announce our FRIDAY 13TH promo and you should absolutely read on the article in order to find out how to best take advantage of this campaign and turn your luck in the right direction for the occasion…
