'PAX AMERICANA' DLC FOR TURN-BASED GRAND STRATEGY 'MAESTRO'S COLD WAR 2' OUT NOW!
In the latest Pax Americana DLC, command a global superpower and rewrite history in the years after the Cold War
PARIS, FRANCE, March 19th, 2026 | The indie studio Cinetik, following its well-received title Rise of the White Sun, is proud to announce that the latest Pax Americana DLC for the turn-based grand strategy game, Maestro's Cold War 2, is now available on Steam. Select your global superpower of choice. Play as the United States, aiming for international order, or as the USSR, reshaping history entirely by carrying the Republics into the 21st century. The DLC provides 12 years of iconic historical events and features, including a new Hubris scale for the U.S. and new interactive map events. In The War on Terror and The War on Drugs, crack down on terrorist cell operations early, before they escalate into drastically catastrophic events.
Pick Up in the Post-Cold War Era of the 90's
Whether a dictatorship or a democracy, Maestro's Cold War 2 lets you reshape the history of the Cold War however you want. Building on the positively reviewed base game, the DLC introduces new timeline scenarios. From the '90s through the early 2000s, revisit significant moments like the Y2K Scare, the First Gulf War, and more.
Choose Between Historically Accurate or Alternative Paths
In Pax Americana, explore any hypothetical 'what if' historical scenarios or theories you might have considered about the turn of the 21st century. Choose alternative historical paths for famous major events, or stick to the usual retelling of history. Gain more prestige points than your rival nation to achieve global superpower status. Each turn, wisely invest your monthly budget by taking actions in other nations on an interactive map. Gradually build trust with other countries by offering military and economic aid. Bonding closely with other nations increases the likelihood of signing trade agreements and defense treaties, helping you earn prestige points and further strengthen and consolidate your bloc. Neighboring countries within your sphere of influence offer double prestige gains and losses, so mingle closely with them. Gradually gain leverage over other rival government-led nations through planning subversions and military attacks. However, do so carefully, as any immediate threat can raise your DEFCON level and increase the risk of a nuclear showdown.
PAX Americana DLC Now Available on Steam
The Pax Americana DLC is now available for purchase on Steam and offers a wide variety of playstyles. If you prefer, start with smaller historically focused scenarios or jump into a 50-year grand campaign. In online multiplayer, grab a friend, assign blocs, and see who can achieve the widest global influence. The DLC also features new achievements to unlock that will reward you for exploring different historical outcomes.
Pax Americana DLC Features:
- Introduces 2 new world map events, The War on Terror and The War on Drugs, both providing opportunities to slowly dissolve drug cartel cells and eliminate terroristic threats.
- 4 brand new scenarios that allow you to complete campaigns scaling in size, or follow specific periodic events, like the 1998 Oil crisis, the 1991 Moscow coup, and the Operation Desert Storm.
- Revise or retell U.S. or USSR history, with alternative historical routes that follow new national policies, world events, and leaders.
