APRIL 2020 • TECH ADVISOR 91- Crusader Kings III
Release date: To be confirmed
Crusader Kings III is another game I doubt releases in
2020, but that’s what Paradox claims and so it goes
on the list. After eight years and a dozen expansions,
Paradox is finally hitting the reset button and making
a proper sequel to the beloved Crusader Kings II.
The core is the same, taking over any Medieval ruler
and trying to expand their influence across multiple
generations through warfare, marriage, strategic heir
selection, and religion. But a clean slate allows Paradox
to delve deeper into what made the game a breakout
hit, expanding on courtly intrigue, dynastic traits,
and random events, plus making the map a bit more
attractive. If Paradox has learned anything in the last
eight years, it’s UI design.
