The latest Crusader Kings 3 expansion now has a release date. Tours and Tournaments will be dropping on May 11, bringing a host of new features for the popular medieval intrigue simulator.
Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Crusader Kings 3 is a deep and rewarding strategy game from Paradox Interactive where you take on the role of a noble in a historically accurate imagining of the medieval world. Rather than simply charging you with the affairs of state, Crusader Kings 3 champions emergent storytelling and player choice. The life events and personal quirks of your leader do as much to affect the outcome of your political machinations as the state of your treasury or the strength of your army. In short, it's one of the best strategy games out there.
Tours and Tournaments places an emphasis on politics and storytelling, letting players plan chivalric tournaments to gain glory and prestige. The latest expansion will also let you organize Grand Weddings, creating another key stage for political wheeling and dealing. The most interesting new feature, however, comes in the form of the new travel mechanic.
As an influential noble, you can tour your lands, carefully picking out your route as you move about your holdings. You’ll be able to visit your vassals and shower them with gifts (or tax collectors if you’re feeling cruel). You’ll also bump into interesting new characters and cultures, too.
Crusader Kings 3 has always emphasized storytelling worthy of even the best RPGs. Whether you’re going to war or neglecting your children, the game is full of choices that make for an immersive and personal experience.
