Stockholm strategy-games publisher Paradox Interactive grew revenue 15% to SEK 456 million (\~$48 million) and operating profit 27% to SEK 142 million (\~$15 million) in the July to September quarter, a period the company says typically runs on catalogue sales; "Transport Fever 3" launched in it, alongside new expansions for "Crusader Kings III" and "Surviving Mars: Relaunched". Paradox booked a SEK 40 million (\~$4 million) gain on selling subsidiary Playrion to Trophy Games, bought back 1.22 million shares for SEK 178 million (\~$19 million), gave no guidance, and names "Afterworld" and "LEGO Skylines" as its next announced games.
