"Crusader Kings III Expands with Mongol and Asian Horizons"

Paradox Interactive has unveiled an exciting roadmap for Crusader Kings III's Chapter IV, set to roll out throughout 2025 with a strong focus on expanding into Asia. This chapter promises fresh mechanics and new regions for players to immerse themselves in.

The journey begins with the recently launched cosmetic DLC, Crowns of the World. This elegant pack offers six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards, allowing players to further customize their rulers and add a touch of regal flair to their gameplay.

On April 28, the first major DLC, Khans of the Steppe, will make its debut. This expansion lets players take the reins as the Great Khan, leading a nomadic horde to conquer lands and establish dominance over neighboring territories. It's a thrilling opportunity to experience the might and mobility of the Mongol Empire.

Next up, in Q3 (July–September), the Coronations DLC will introduce a new ceremonial mechanic. Players can legitimize their reign through grand coronation events, complete with extravagant festivities, solemn vows, and crucial decisions that shape the path of their kingdom. This expansion also enhances political interactions with new advisor and vassal events, adding depth to royal succession and governance.

The chapter will culminate with the release of All Under Heaven, a massive expansion set to arrive later in the year. This DLC will feature a comprehensive East Asian map, including detailed representations of China, Korea, Japan, and the Indonesian islands. Players will have vast new territories to explore, conquer, and rule, opening up a world of strategic possibilities.

In addition to these exciting DLCs, Paradox Interactive will continue to refine the game with patches that enhance game systems and AI behavior. The developers are committed to incorporating player feedback, with the next Q&A session scheduled for March 26. This ongoing dialogue ensures that future updates will align with the community's desires and expectations.
