The game Hearts of Iron IV, a strategy-based war game, is venturing towards unexplored territories with its first-ever South American country pack, Trial of Allegiance. In this pack, players get the chance to steer the political and military might of Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Let's see what's coming in the DLC.

  • The Trial of Allegiance country pack introduces three focus trees for Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.
  • Players will navigate the challenges Brazil faced post-1930:
    • Dealing with the aftermath of a political revolution;
    • The threat of communism and separatist movements;
    • As well as the economic impact of the Great Depression.

The DLC focuses on intricate details of Brazilian history, including the rise to power of Getúlio Vargas, his struggle to maintain control, adoption of an authoritarian government model, and significant reforms enacted to appease rural and urban consumer forces.

Hearts of Iron IV also captures the economic challenges Brazil faced during the Great Depression and walks players through unique strategies such as controlling coffee exports to establish a stronger internal industrial base. Crucial decisions about alliances and trade agreements with powerful nations such as the United States impact the course of the game.
