Paradox celebrates first public PDXCON with typically off-the-wall trailer

In December, Paradox Interactive announced its next Paradox Convention—PDXCON 2017—will be open to the public for the first time. Set to run in Stockholm on May 12-14, fans and press alike will gather this year in a "celebration of all things Paradox"—a union which CEO Fredrik Wester appears very thankful, rather, 'tankful', of.

In typically unorthodox Paradox fashion, here's the studio's Wester-starring trailer which features tanks, dragons, planes, and some gravity/hamstring-defying gymnastics:

PDXCON 2017 promises a number of guest speakers, talks from some of its thriving modding community, and a cosplay competition, among other things. 

“Come and join the developers, designers, leaders, and non-vampires of Paradox Interactive at Gamla Riksarkivet in Stockholm for a weekend of games, panels, and partying,” reads the blurb on the Paradox site
