About the story

But uneasy lies the head that wears a crown! Your cunning is your greatest weapon, and intelligence is the key to all successful strategy.

I don’t know how I feel overall about the release schedule and pricing of Paradox expansion packs. Maybe it’s a lot, or maybe it’s a fair price. What I do know is that these big expansions look to change the feel of the game in significant ways. Measured against that standard, Tours and Tournaments is another huge step forward for Crusader Kings, the best emergent narrative RPG/strategy game around!

Crusader Kings III is a relatively accessible title and well adapted to consoles. If you give it a chance, you'll see how evenings pass in the blink of an eye as you try to build your empire.

Crusader Kings III on consoles is, while cumbersome, a fun and dramatic journey through the world of medieval politics. Schemes and plots, wars, and diplomacy all coalesce to create a wonderful experience that is incomparable to other grand strategy games.

If you don't feel threatened by huge amounts of text and menu-based systems, then Crusader Kings 3 can turn into huge and epic jorney, with hundreds of hours of gameplay, and a full world of unique medieval intrigues.

Crusader Kings III has finally crossed the boundaries of our PCs to land in all its magnificence on the next-generation consoles. The dynastic grand strategy by Paradox Interactive and Lab42 gives a new audience of players the same, unforgettable, gaming experience proposed a couple of years ago (by the way, owners of the Game Pass subscription can download it for free, right on PC).
