Paradox’s award-winning medieval strategy game is out on the latest Xbox and PlayStation models.
New kingdoms are now ready to settle in new lands, and all new dynasties around the world will be filled with glory as Crusader Kings III makes its debut today on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Paradox’s hit grand strategy role-playing game has been exciting PC gamers since 2020, and now players on other platforms have the chance to relive and rewrite medieval history.
Crusader Kings III is out for consoles
In Crusader Kings III, players control their characters and heirs and lead a royal family for centuries as they try to claim and protect their lands, titles and victories. A warrior adventurer’s kingdom may be taken over by a more insidious son; this changes the way you see and use power dynamics. War, espionage, diplomacy, and religion are making their debut on consoles, although you were active fronts in the greatest historical adventure ever to hit consoles.
We can list the features of Crusader Kings III as follows:
- Character-Driven Gameplay: Every character you play or interact with has a unique personality. The events and options in the game are largely determined by your personality.
- Endless Possibilities: Represent any of the noble households over five centuries, from Iceland to India, from Finland to Central Africa. Interact with dignitaries such as guests, stubborn children, sneaky spies and saints as they navigate the detailed fabric of medieval life.
- Declare War: Gather your subjects and lead your armed men to besiege enemy strongholds or suppress rebellions. Your personal prowess on the battlefield may earn you great honor, but the road to victory is through strategic planning.
- Royal Marriages: Spread your dynastic DNA around the world, imprint the royal seal on the apex of kingdoms and duchies. Marry for power and raise children to claim new lands.
- Saints and Sinners: Maintain your faith with your religious leaders or commit major crimes in the interest of the state. When the going gets tough, you can always adopt an idea that goes against a belief or devise a new religion that better aligns with your character’s priorities.
The console version of Crusader Kings III features an interface and control scheme specifically tailored to larger screens and console game controllers. The brand new control map allows players to navigate the game menu quickly and easily with triggers, bumpers and quick movements of the analog stick. The console version also leverages the core features of Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 such as super fast loading time, Haptic and Adaptive Trigger feedback for an unmatched gaming experience. Gamers will be able to refer to the help section where they can switch between Quick Resume and other apps like YouTube for information on how to put down a peasant revolt on Xbox Series X|S.
PlayStation 5 users will personally experience the game’s stress mechanics as DualSense controllers physically react to in-game events. The more stress a character has, the more resistance will be applied to the DualSense’s Adaptive Triggers. PS5’s Events and Game Help sections also provide a platform to assist new players as they take their first steps into the world of Crusader Kings III.
