Paradox Interactive has unveiled an exciting lineup of content for Crusader Kings III as part of Chapter IV, set to roll out throughout 2025. This chapter focuses on expanding the game's scope into Asia, introducing new mechanics and regions for players to delve into.

The journey begins with the recently released cosmetic DLC, Crowns of the World. This stylish pack offers six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards, allowing players to further personalize their rulers and enhance their royal appearance.

Mark your calendars for April 28, when the first major DLC, Khans of the Steppe, makes its debut. This expansion lets players take command of the Mongols, assuming the role of the Great Khan. Lead your nomadic horde across vast steppes, conquer new lands, and establish dominance over neighboring territories. It's an opportunity to experience the thrill of Mongol conquest firsthand.

Next up, in Q3 (July–September), comes Coronations, introducing a new ceremonial mechanic. Players can legitimize their reign through grand coronation events, complete with extravagant festivities, solemn vows, and crucial decisions that shape the future of their kingdom. This DLC also brings new advisor and vassal events, adding depth to political interactions and enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

The chapter culminates with the release of All Under Heaven later in the year. This massive expansion introduces 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 possibilities for their dynasties.

Between these major DLC releases, Paradox will continue to issue patches to refine game systems and improve AI behavior. The developers are keen to incorporate player feedback, with the next Q&A session scheduled for March 26. Your input could shape the future of Crusader Kings III, so don't miss the chance to contribute to its ongoing development.
