Crusader Kings 3's Tours and Tournaments expansion gets May release date

eurogamer.net:

Paradox Interactive's acclaimed grand strategy game Crusader Kings 3 is ready to hit the road, with its Tours and Tournaments expansion now confirmed to be launching on 11th May.

Tours and Tournaments — Crusader Kings 3's second major expansion, following last year's Royal Court — has something of an outdoor theme. Those «tours», for instance, arrive as part of a new travel system, giving players the tools to plot either a modest trip — perhaps navigating their realm, gifting or extorting their vassals along the way — or a far more elaborate globe-trotting jaunt, whether that be through dangerous or civilised lands, alone or with an entourage.

Tournaments, meanwhile, can be hosted around the map, their demonstrations of combat drawing nearby nobles and wandering knights, and potentially boosting players' social standing or military prowess. Additionally, players' best knights can be honoured with special titles and accolades granting bonuses to both them and the armies they lead.

For something a little less bloodthirsty, Tours and Tournaments also introduces the ability to host grand wedding ceremonies that have the capacity to boost political standing.

Crusader Kings 3's Tours and Tournaments expansion — which also features new armour designs from across the centuries and new Western European clothing options, reflecting changing fashion between the time of the Carolignians and the end of the medieval era — will cost £24.99/€29.99/$29.99 USD when it launches on 11th May.

It'll form the first part of Crusader Kings 3's second «chapter» of content, with three more packs to follow. Wards and Wardens will deepen the game's systems around raising and educating children, while Legacy of Persia introduces new mechanics for
