Crusader Kings III - Create your empire

Crusader Kings III is a global strategy game in paused real time. The game is developed by Paradox Interactive and is scheduled to be released on September 01, 2020 for Windows. With Crusader Kings III, the Swedish developer wants to continue the success of the 2012 released Crusader Kings II.

In the third installment of the series, you take control of an up-and-coming dynasty from the Middle Ages with the goal of expanding your influence and your realm. The map you view from a bird's-eye perspective is meant to encompass all of Europe. From Iceland to India, from the Arctic Circle to Central Africa, the size and variety of the new game world are virtually limitless. In contrast to its predecessors, it will also be possible to choose from one of five different lifestyles. Each with its own unique talent trees. The founding of religions has also been integrated into the game.

Crusader Kings III has been in development for five whole years. In May, the public was first introduced to a gameplay teaser and a story trailer for the game. Crusader Kings III is said to run on an updated version of the popular Clausewitz Engine. Game Director Henrik FĂ„hraeus said in an interview that the studio wants to reach an even wider audience with the new strategy game. It is also known that there will be an expansion pass with at least one major expansion.

Crusader Kings III is for all fans of the strategy genre. In particular, fans of real-time strategy games will get their money's worth with the third part. Those who have already enjoyed the predecessors will be looking forward to the game anyway. Since the second part was able to attract many new players, it is assumed that the third part will also offer a good entry for newcomers.

However, it will take a few more weeks until Crusader Kings III is released. To bridge the waiting time, Paradox Interactive has a lot of other games that are particularly popular and also extremely playable. So the predecessor, Crusader Kings II, is definitely worth a try. The Swedish publisher also offers a wide range of other strategy games in different scenarios. For example, Europa Universalis, a strategy game from the late Middle Ages, or Hearts of Iron, which is set in World War II.
