"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. This chapter is all about expanding the game's horizons into Asia, introducing new mechanics and regions for players to dive into.

The journey begins with the newly released cosmetic DLC, Crowns of the World. This pack may be small, but it's packed with style, offering six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards. It's the perfect way to give your rulers a touch of personal flair.

Mark your calendars for April 28, when the first major DLC, Khans of the Steppe, hits the scene. Step into the shoes of the Great Khan and lead your nomadic horde across the steppes. Conquer lands and assert your dominance over neighboring territories. It's your chance to become a legendary leader of the Mongols.

Next up, in Q3 (July–September), comes Coronations. This DLC introduces a new ceremonial mechanic that lets you legitimize your reign through grand coronation events. Host lavish festivities, make solemn vows, and chart the course of your kingdom. With new advisor and vassal events, your political interactions will be richer and more engaging than ever.

The chapter wraps up with the monumental expansion, All Under Heaven, arriving later in the year. This expansion opens up the entire East Asian map, featuring detailed regions of China, Korea, Japan, and the Indonesian islands. It's a vast new world waiting for you to explore and conquer.

In between these exciting DLC releases, Paradox will keep the game fresh with patches aimed at refining game systems and enhancing AI behavior. The developers are keen on incorporating player feedback to shape future updates. Don't miss the next Q&A session on March 26, where you can have your say in the game's development.
