The large expansion All Under Heaven will be released on October 28 for the global strategy Crusader Kings III
From the Great Wall of China to the temple cities of Indochina, from the foot of Mount Fuji to the river valleys of the Celestial Empire – an endless array of new adventures and stories awaits players in All Under Heaven, the largest expansion for Crusader Kings III. The updated map reveals a rich and vibrant world of imperial ambitions, sacred duties, and shadowy conspiracies, accurately embodying the historical details of medieval China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
The All Under Heaven expansion will be released on October 28 and will introduce completely new regions to the Crusader Kings series for the first time. Players will have to firmly rule a great power or try to hold the throne amidst dynastic storms in China. They can pay homage to the Yamato emperor and his regent in Japan or choose the path of a samurai warlord. Players can erect a majestic temple complex in the jungles of Southeast Asia and make neighboring kingdoms pay tribute in recognition of their might. All Under Heaven will also feature support for the Japanese language in Crusader Kings III, allowing the game to reach an even broader international audience.
"All Under Heaven embodies one of our main ambitions," said Crusader Kings III game director Alexander Oltner. – "We have always viewed Crusader Kings as a story of the entire medieval world, but it cannot be fully revealed without East Asia. This vision emerged long before I took on the leadership, and I am very pleased to bring it to life. This is the largest expansion in the history of Crusader Kings, and it has presented us with many new challenges. We hope that players will discover a lot of new things in All Under Heaven for themselves – and find what truly captivates them."**
