Paradox Interactive has unveiled an exciting roadmap for Crusader Kings III in 2025, encapsulated in Chapter IV, with a strong focus on expanding the game into Asia with new mechanics and regions to explore.

The chapter begins with the recently released cosmetic DLC, "Crowns of the World." This charming pack provides players with six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards, allowing for greater personalization of their rulers and adding a touch of regal flair to their gameplay experience.

On April 28, the first major expansion, "Khans of the Steppe," will be released. This DLC lets players take command of the Mongols, embodying the Great Khan and leading a nomadic horde to conquer and dominate neighboring territories. It's an opportunity to experience the thrill of sweeping across the steppes and asserting your might.

Following this, "Coronations" will introduce a new ceremonial mechanic in Q3 (July–September). Players will be able to legitimize their reign through grand coronation events, which include hosting lavish festivities, making solemn vows, and charting the course of their kingdom. This expansion will also enrich political interactions with new advisor and vassal events, adding depth to royal succession and governance.

The chapter will culminate with "All Under Heaven," a monumental expansion set to arrive later in the year. This DLC will unveil the entire East Asian map, featuring detailed representations of China, Korea, Japan, and the Indonesian islands. Players will have vast new territories to explore and conquer, opening up a world of strategic possibilities and cultural immersion.

Between these major DLC releases, Paradox Interactive will continue to enhance the game through patches aimed at refining game systems and AI behavior. The developers are keen on incorporating player feedback to shape future updates, with the next Q&A session scheduled for March 26. This commitment to community engagement ensures that Crusader Kings III will continue to evolve and meet the expectations of its dedicated player base.
