Paradox Interactive has unveiled its roadmap for Crusader Kings III throughout 2025 as Chapter IV takes shape. This ambitious update focuses on Asian territories, introducing novel gameplay mechanics and uncharted regions.
Crowning Your Emperor in Style
The cosmetic DLC Crowns of the World recently launched, offering rulers six distinctive crowns, four elegant hairstyles, and two majestic beard styles for enhanced character customization.
The Great Khans Ride Forth
Mark your calendars for April 28 when Khans of the Steppe arrives, empowering players to lead Mongol hordes across the steppes. Experience nomadic conquests as you establish dominance over rival territories through sheer military might.
A Sovereign's Sacred Right
Scheduled for Q3 (July–September), Coronations introduces majestic ceremonies where rulers cement their legitimacy. Players will host lavish celebrations, take sacred vows, and shape their realm's destiny through new political events involving advisors and vassals.
The Eastern Expansion
Chapter IV culminates with All Under Heaven later this year, delivering comprehensive East Asian territories featuring meticulously crafted landscapes of China, Korea, Japan, and Indonesia's archipelago.
Between major DLC releases, Paradox will deploy patches improving gameplay systems and AI behavior. The team continues gathering player feedback through community Q&A sessions, with the next discussion scheduled for March 26.
