If you\u2019re new to Crusader Kings, you\u2019re about to discover a world where you can live out your own medieval saga as the leader (and the heirs of that leader) of a grand dynasty. You can determine your own fate \u2014 conquer your way across Europe, establish your rule over matters of religion, culture, or simply ensure that your rivals meet with a series of \u201ccoincidental\u201d misfortunes. If you\u2019re a long-time veteran of our series, then I think you will be both satisfied and surprised with what we have in store for you in this true, worthy sequel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-127239 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/02_2k.jpg?w=940\" alt=\"Crusader Kings III\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-127239 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/02_2k.jpg?w=940&amp;resize=940%2C528\" alt=\"Crusader Kings III\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an exciting honor to have finally revealed the project we\u2019ve been working on, live on stage at PDXCON 2019 in Berlin, no less! What\u2019s more, we were joined on stage by our friends at Microsoft to reveal that we\u2019re sharing this new journey with PC players worldwide through Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta). <strong><em>Crusader Kings III<\/em><\/strong> will be available day one with Xbox Game Pass!

Over the years, <em>CK2<\/em> has had several expansions with more content than I can possibly list here. From its humble beginning, we\u2019ve seen the game explode in popularity and take on new challenges, conquering new territories just like an in-game dynasty! Our players have shared countless stories of the treachery, drama, and heartbreak they\u2019ve experienced within Crusader Kings over the years, and with an all-new generation waiting in the wings, I can\u2019t wait to hear about the guile, cunning, and strategy our fans (new and old alike) will attempt. Maybe some of them will even succeed, if they can outsmart the ambitious threats from other kingdoms and from their own councils.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-127238 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/01_2k.jpg?w=940\" alt=\"Crusader Kings III\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-127238 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/01_2k.jpg?w=940&amp;resize=940%2C528\" alt=\"Crusader Kings III\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to have a lot more to share about <strong><em>Crusader Kings III<\/em><\/strong> in the coming months, so stay tuned to Xbox Wire and look for us on Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) in 2020!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven years ago, Paradox Interactive redefined grand strategy, emergent storytelling, and alternate history in one incredible game: Crusader Kings II.
