The console version of Crusader Kings III presents Chapter III – a series of expansions where characters will face new challenges and adventures on the path to creating a new historical reality with wars, diplomacy, romance, and intrigue in the medieval era.

Crusader Kings III: Chapter III for Xbox X|S and Playstation 5 is available today. This chapter includes two expansions, including the long-awaited major Byzantine-themed expansion, as well as a pack of events and a cosmetic clothing pack. The first part of this chapter, Legends of the Dead, will be released on November 18.

Crusader Kings III: Chapter III includes:

  • Couture of the Capets
    Discover a world of luxury with the Couture of the Capets pack. This cosmetic pack, available immediately upon purchasing Chapter III, features new garments and outfits inspired by 13th century French royal culture.

  • Legends of the Dead
    Become a legendary historical character in this key expansion, where great feats and effective propaganda will immortalize your dynasty’s power. Create a legend by enlisting the services of court chroniclers, and profit materially for your dynasty through growing renown. But beware of the terrible danger from distant lands – the Black Death is creating its legendary legacy.

  • Roads to Power
    This major expansion highlights the grandeur of the Byzantine Empire. Rule the empire from the throne in Constantinople with a new form of administration and participate in various Byzantine-themed events. Or try the role of an adventurer, embarking on a long journey and not tying your noble reputation to specific lands.

  • Wandering Nobles
    Using the travel system introduced in the Tours & Tournaments expansion, this pack presents a new way of life for travelers, along with new opportunities for medieval voyages, incidents, and stories related to moving away from the safety of your court.

The new chapter kicks off next week with the release of Legends of the Dead, where your character can become the brightest star in the firmament of medieval myths, inspiring the world to sing songs of their victories – perhaps even passing this glory on to their descendants.

Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead is the main expansion for Crusader Kings III on Xbox Series X|S and Playstation 5. This expansion to the award-winning medieval grand strategy from Paradox adds numerous new activities, events, and opportunities, including legendary actions and the dreadful Black Death, which reminds everyone of the fragile mortality of even the greatest monarchs.
