During his three years at the head of the company, Ebba Ljungerund piloted the acquisition of several studios (Harebrained Schemes, Playrion, Iceflake Studios) and offered Paradox Interactive its most brilliant financial results.
In 2020, the turnover of the Swedish studio amounted to 178 million euros, against 106,2 million euros when he took office. Good results can be attributed in particular to the Crusader Kings III box, of which a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version has just been announced. The highly anticipated strategy game Victoria III was also announced last May.
