Hooded Horse has added Gilded Destiny, a grand strategy title developed by Aquila Interactive, to its publishing lineup. Set in the 19th century, the game lets you build empires and spark revolutions throughout the Industrial Age. With a successful Kickstarter campaign and an upcoming alpha phase, Gilded Destiny aims to redefine the genre with its unique systems and expansive world.
Much like Paradox Interactive’s Victoria series, you command a chosen nation and guide it through diplomacy, industrialization, and warfare to achieve global dominance. The world is alive and interactive, letting you place cities, railways, and buildings anywhere on the map while shaping your nation’s growth with precision.
Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender said: “We love grand strategy games, and Gilded Destiny is currently one of the most exciting titles in the genre.” Aquila co-founder Kenneth Mei added: “Partnering with Hooded Horse will pave a golden path forward and help us realize our vision of a living world with deep military and economic systems.”
Gilded Destiny was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $150,000 from 2,300 backers and is targeting an Early Access release in late 2026.
