On May 11, the expansion Roads to Power, which significantly enhances the strategy Crusader Kings III with a new type of government and an additional way for your character to interact with the medieval world, will be released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

In Roads to Power, characters in Crusader Kings III can become wandering adventurers on their path to glory and wealth. As mercenaries seeking quests that nobles shy away from, characters will be able to set up temporary camps, form useful connections abroad, and even use accumulated wealth and power to ultimately claim rights to a kingdom.

The expansion also grants access to the Bureaucratic Empire government, based on the Byzantine system of appointed governors, unlike the Western system of feudal vassals. By building a noble estate, players can fight for power and imperial titles, undermine the positions of rivals, and create a political support base to endure tumultuous times.

Key Features of Crusader Kings III: Road to Power:

  • Administrative Governance: medieval life without feudalism. Officials scheme to take warm seats. Sometimes they are rewarded for their efforts, and sometimes for betrayal. Only an experienced emperor can keep the factions in check.

  • Estate: can become the center of power for a family (even if the character has nothing else). Building structures can strengthen their influence.

  • Influence System: characters can now be promoted and developed in the eyes of the emperor. One can rise from a landless noble to a head of province, and then compete for the purple.

  • Life as an Adventure: players can roam, knowing no home and following the winds of fortune. Engage in exploits, becoming a landless adventurer. Accumulate reputation, gold, prestige, and glory, and then finally settle down and claim land rights.

  • Choosing an Heir or Caesar: now, it is possible to determine the path of the country by choosing an heir – be it a crowned prince, aristocrat, hero... or co-rulership if the burden of power is great.

  • Byzantine-themed Content: events and monuments, including chariot races.

  • And Much More: Byzantine interface and court fashion, 2D illustrations of chariot races, monuments of the Byzantine and Roman worlds, redesigned maps, throne rooms, Orthodox chants and more.

Along with the expansion Roads to Power, the pack Wandering Nobles will be released – a new set of events focused on travel. Players can expect new adventures on the road as their heroes embark on pilgrimages or travel across the kingdom, visiting their subjects.

Key Features of Crusader Kings III: Wandering Nobles:

  • A new lifestyle with three new branches:

    • Explorer: Characters who are landowners can study and improve their holdings, while landless ones can choose specializations in ecology.
    • Wanderer: A long road will allow relaxation and fame from their feats.
    • Traveler: By developing communication skills, one can make useful connections and gather unforgettable experiences.

  • New actions for nomadic lifestyle:

    • Exploration: Explorers can survey their holdings and improve them.
    • March: Wanderers can relieve stress by wandering through the wilderness.
    • Sightseeing: Travelers can visit special buildings in foreign lands.

 

We remind you that the expansion Crusader Kings III: Roads to Power and the pack Crusader Kings III: Wandering Nobles will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 11, 2026.
