Paradox Interactive announces the conclusion of this week's Paradox Interactive Convention in Stockholm in a press release that also reveals plans for Sword of the Stars II, Commander: Conquest of the Americas, and Magicka along with word on plans to release the Magna Mundi modification for Europa Universalis III commercially. They also recap recent announcements about Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943, Rise of Prussia and Vainglory of Nations, and Majesty 2: Kingmaker. Here's word on the previously unannounced Sword of the Stars II (though this has been previously hinted), Commander: Conquest of the Americas, and Magicka:

Much to the delight of fans of the Sword of the Stars franchise, Paradox announced Sword of the Stars II, the full stand-alone follow-up to the popular space strategy titles. Sword of the Stars II will feature the six races from the original game, as well as its expansions, marking a major step forward in the series’ approach to 4X gameplay. Setting a new standard for the genre, as well as revealing dark secrets of the original series, Sword of the Stars II is sure to please fans of the genre when it is released next year

Commander: Conquest of the Americas combines the best elements of trading and strategy games. Set in the 16th century, players will take charge of a wide variety of European nations in efforts to conquer the New World. With as many as 30 ships to control and varied environments (from the Caribbean to the Hudson Bay), players have much to look forward to when the game is released in Q3 2010.

Following up on the recent news that Paradox Interactive will enter the console territory, Magicka, an action-adventure game based on Norse mythology, will be available to download on PC and consoles in Q2/Q3 2010. Up to four players will be able to join together in casting spells and wreaking havoc on the minions of darkness, in a grand and humorous adventure to save the world from ultimate doom.
