Paradox Interactive has unveiled an exciting roadmap for Crusader Kings III, focusing on the Asian expansion throughout 2025 as part of Chapter IV. This chapter promises to bring fresh mechanics and regions to life, captivating players with new adventures.
To begin the year, the recently launched cosmetic DLC, Crowns of the World, offers a stylish touch with six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards, allowing players to customize their rulers further.
On April 28, the highly anticipated Khans of the Steppe will arrive, enabling players to take control of the Mongols. As the Great Khan, you'll lead a nomadic horde, expanding your empire and asserting dominance over neighboring territories.
Later in the summer, Coronations will introduce a ceremonial system where players legitimize their rule through grand coronation events. These elaborate ceremonies involve lavish celebrations, solemn oaths, and strategic decisions shaping the future of your kingdom. New advisor and vassal events will deepen political interactions. Set to launch in Q3, this DLC enhances royal succession mechanics.
Concluding the chapter is All Under Heaven, a massive expansion expected later this year. Featuring the complete East Asian map, including intricate depictions of China, Korea, Japan, and the Indonesian islands, it opens up vast new territories for exploration and conquest.
In the meantime, Paradox will release patches to polish game systems and AI behavior. The development team remains committed to player feedback, with the next Q&A session scheduled for March 26.
