In Crusader Kings III, your legacy awaits as you take command of a noble house and lead your dynasty to greatness across generations. Set in the Middle Ages, this epic grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio offers much more than war; true reign requires expert diplomacy, mastery over your realm, and cunning strategy. The game blends immersive grand strategy with deep, dramatic medieval role-playing, continuing the widely acclaimed series.

Start your journey in either 867 or 1066, expanding your dynasty by claiming lands, titles, and vassals to secure your royal legacy. Death is only the beginning as your lineage continues through playable heirs — either carefully planned or not. The game world is a sprawling simulation filled with peasants, knights, spies, courtiers, and secret love affairs. You’ll interact with an extensive cast of historical characters, each of whom can be romanced, betrayed, executed, or influenced.

Explore a vast medieval map that stretches from the frozen Nordic lands to the Horn of Africa, and from the British Isles to the riches of Burma. Rule thousands of unique counties, duchies, kingdoms, and empires, each with its own challenges and opportunities.

Key Features:

• Larger-than-Life Characters: Each character has distinct traits and lifestyle choices, shaping their schemes and actions. Rule with fear or kindness, and pass on your strengths (or weaknesses) through genetics to your heirs.
• Dynamic Heirs: Groom your heir for greatness or, if they prove unworthy, deal with them through marriage or other means. Customize your ruler and noble house, shaping their appearance and attributes to reflect their virtues and vices.
• Evolving Realm: Govern your realm, distribute titles, and plot to overthrow your liege. Beware of rivals, both noble and lowborn, as danger lurks in every shadow.
• Treachery and Seduction: Recruit agents to undermine or eliminate enemies, or use charm and seduction to rise to power.
• Battle and Warfare: Assemble armies, manage battlefield tactics, and raid neighboring lands. Hire mercenaries and Holy Orders for large conflicts, and plunder with powerful knights and men-at-arms.
• Religion and Faith: Be a pious king and gain the support of religious powers, or create your own faith. Your choices can lead to everlasting fame or eternal damnation.
• Innovation and Progress: Bring innovations to your culture, build castles and fortresses, and increase the prestige, wealth, and security of your realm.
• Countless Possibilities: Experience thousands of dynamic events, life-altering decisions, and tailored scenarios for each character. The paths to securing your legacy are endless, ensuring your place in history.
