That’s right, it’s a Tournament arc
Crusader Kings IIIis setting out for some new festivities in May. The nextCrusader Kings IIIexpansion, dubbedTours and Tournaments, debuts on August 06, 2025.
WhileCrusader Kingshas had plenty of courtroom drama, this particular expansion looks to add some pageantry to all of it. Host a royal wedding! It’s never gone poorly for anyone, ever. Head out on tour, or yes, even hold your own tournament. I’m sure leaving your kingdom in the hands of a cunning and ambitious seat-warmer will certainly turn out fine.
It’s not all just events planning, though. The new travel system will include route planning, which means determining how fast you want to travel versus how safe your charted course will be.
Additionally, Knightly Accolades are getting a spotlight, as are some new armor designs and clothing. Fashion is crucial, even at a sometimes bloody tournament.
