Paradox Interactive recently unveiled its 2024 plan for Crusader Kings III, the award-winning strategy game about the medieval era, known for it’s captivating immersive storytelling. Chapter III for Crusader Kings III will feature two expansions, including long-anticipated Byzantine-themed content. It will also include an event pack and a free cosmetic clothing add-on which are available for download now to anyone who pre-purchases the Expansion Pass.
Crusader Kings III: Chapter III will include the following:
- Couture of the Capets: Unveil a word of opulence with Couture of the Capets. Available immediately upon purchase of Chapter III, this cosmetic pack introduces new fashions and styles inspired by French royal culture in the High Middle Ages (13th century).
- Legends of the Dead: Turn yourself into a figure of legend in this Core Expansion, where great feats and effective propaganda can enhance the power of your bloodline through the centuries. Direct the course of your dynastic legend through Court Chroniclers and use your growing reputation to build a lasting material legacy. But beware of the growing threat from distant lands as the Black Death builds a legendary legacy of its own.
- Roads to Power: The majesty of the Byzantine Empire takes center stage in this Major Expansion. Rule from Constantinople through a new Administrative Government form and experience various Byzantine-themed events and flavors. Or, be truly daring and live a life where your noble reputation is not tied to the land, roaming the map as an adventurer for hire.
- Wandering Nobles: Building on the travel system introduced with Tours & Tournaments, this event pack introduces a new Travel Lifestyle and new ways and reasons to travel – incidents and stories related to roaming far from the safety of your court.
“It’s very exciting to be able to talk about our plans for 2024,” says game director Alex Oltner. “We’ve been working hard on trying to find ways to introduce major historical contact like the Black Death and the Byzantine Empire’s distinct form of government into CKIII, and we know that our fans have been wanting these as well. Chapter III promises to be one of the biggest phases in the game’s history.”
The first and largest piece of content of the third chapter, Legends of the Dead, will arrive on March 4, 2024. Crusader Kings III is currently available on Windows, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. For more information, visit http://www.paradoxinteractive.com.
