There's no question that 2024 was a great year for Crusader Kings III. This is particularly due to the release of the entire content of Chapter III which allowed players to have a new gameplay experience.
However, this also means that the entire content bundle is going to be retired. Paradox Interactive revealed in a post that the Chapter III bundle won't be available to purchase after January 9, 2025. Now if you don't have any of the contents, not to worry. That's because you can still buy them, albeit individually.
Two Expansions
As a quick recap Chapter III came with two expansions with the first one being Legends of the Dead released back in March. This was about introducing two new legacies and even getting to deal with new diseases. The second one was Roads to Power which came out in September. This expansion made two significant changes to the gameplay. The first one being Landless Adventurer characters starting with a camp along with a few followers. The second change was the Administrative Government playstyle that’s available to the Byzantine Empire.
By the way, the Roads to Power expansion had an official comic book tie-in prequel released. It’s titled "Crusader Kings III - Many Roads to Power" and you can read more about it here.
Event Pack
The event pack that arrived with Chapter III was Wandering Nobles. Released in November, this event pack allowed players to experience a new lifestyle. Dubbed as the Wandering Lifestyle, it offered three new branches. There's the Inspector which allows Landed characters to survey and improve the realm. Inspectors can also be Landless characters who can obtain environmental specialization. Another branch is the Wayfarer who can travel to reduce stress and pursue fame for their exploits. Finally, there's the Voyager who's able to improve linguistic skills and live the life of a tourist and sightseer.
Crusader Kings III invites players to experience the drama and intrigue of the Middle Ages. In a saga that defies time, players need to strategically master a lot of skills that include diplomacy, warfare, and cunning politics, all to secure their dynasty’s place in history.
The opportunities in Crusader Kings III are indeed endless, especially with the wide range of dynamic events and life-altering decisions that’s customized to each character and situation. Get the game on Steam now.
