Crusader Kings III hits PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Game Pass in March

videogameschronicle.com:

Paradox Interactive’s Crusader Kings III will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox Game Pass on March 29, 2022.

It will mark the first time the strategy RPG series has appeared on console platforms.

Paradox and development partner Lab42 say they’ve customised the game’s UI and control scheme to suit larger screens and work with gamepads, including the addition of radial menus.

Crusader Kings III, which was first released for PC in September 2020, is a medieval simulator which casts players as the leader of a noble dynasty.

“They have their own personality and preferences, and, once the family head dies, they will be succeeded by a new dynastic leader who could be very different from their predecessor,” Crusader Kings III lead producer Nils Ryborg previously told Xbox Wire.

“A warrior king could die and see his realm divided among his three sons – a diplomat, a religious zealot, and a seducer. The character you play will face events and challenges specifically designed to match their personality and choices through the game.

“Your goal? To create the greatest dynasty in history in a deeply researched world that stretches from Iceland to India, from Scandinavia to Central Africa. Different cultures and religions go toe-to-toe in a world where your bloodline and family history are your claim to prominence and respect.”
