Release notes and studio updates. The short version of a longer changelog.
Electioneer scenario packs just got a lot bigger
Fifteen new elections landed today, and every pack grew at the same price. The US Historical pack now reaches back to 1960: Kennedy against Nixon, the Johnson landslide, 1968, Watergate's shadow in 1972, and Carter against Ford. The UK pack adds the Wilson and Heath years, including both 1974 elections and the February hung parliament. The Global pack picks up Canada 2015 and 2019, Germany 2017, France 2012, and Australia 2019. Each scenario is calibrated against the real result and ships with its real campaign events. That takes the catalog to 47 paid campaigns plus the free scenarios and the daily challenge, in the store now. Also new today: a campaign editor for building your own candidates and races, cloud saves for signed-in players, and a timeline that shows week by week why you won or lost.
