Magicka's Vietnam-themed DLC has apparently been a huge hit with the folks at Paradox Interactive. Such a hit, in fact, that the company is now theming the upcoming King Arthur sequel in the same way -- nothing quite says "Knights of the Round Table" like napalm! Furthermore, the sequel to Sword of the Stars will receive similar treatment. "A wise journeyman once told me, 'Don't stop believing,' and that's exactly what we're doing here," company head Fredrik Wester noted in the announcement.
Okay, okay, the folks at Paradox are just having a laugh on this day of days to have a laugh, but you'll excuse us if we stand fully in support of the idea. Heck, it sounds like a much better idea than the publisher's East India Company game themed around the Opium Wars of the 19th century. Who greenlights this stuff?!

It was more funny when Magicka did it, and it's even more hilarious considering that Vietnam expansion is actually coming out.

A good game always gets better in Vietnam.

I wouldn't be surprised to see in the near future Vietnam Zombie DLC game add-ons

It kills me on April Fools when multiple developers release ideas with more creativity, originality and fun in them than their overly serious game the joke was released for, and how 90% of these games would be more fun if the joke was real.
