Paradox Interactive has unveiled an exciting lineup of content for Crusader Kings III as part of Chapter IV, which will roll out throughout 2025. This chapter focuses on expanding the game's reach into Asia, introducing new mechanics and regions for players to delve into.
The chapter begins with the release of the Crowns of the World cosmetic DLC, which adds a touch of style to your gameplay. This pack includes six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards, allowing players to further customize their rulers and enhance their regal presence.
On April 28, players can dive into the first major expansion, Khans of the Steppe. This DLC lets you take command of the Mongols as the Great Khan, leading a nomadic horde across vast steppes. You'll conquer new lands and assert dominance over neighboring territories, adding a thrilling new dimension to your conquests.
Next up is Coronations, set to release in Q3 (July–September). This expansion introduces a ceremonial mechanic, allowing players to solidify their rule through grand coronation events. These ceremonies will feature lavish festivities, solemn vows, and pivotal decisions that shape the future of your kingdom. Additionally, new advisor and vassal events will enrich political interactions, making royal succession more engaging and strategic.
The chapter concludes with the massive expansion, All Under Heaven, slated for release later in 2025. This expansion opens up the entire East Asian map, including meticulously detailed regions of China, Korea, Japan, and the Indonesian islands. Players will have vast new territories to explore and conquer, providing endless possibilities for expansion and intrigue.
Between these major DLC releases, Paradox will continue to enhance Crusader Kings III with patches that refine game systems and improve AI behavior. The developers are committed to incorporating player feedback, with the next Q&A session scheduled for March 26. This ensures that the community remains at the heart of the game's ongoing development.
