Your legacy awaits. Choose a noble lineage and guide your dynasty to glory in a medieval saga unfolding across generations. War is just one way to assert your power; a true ruler uses diplomacy, understands their realm, and knows how to be cunning.

Crusader Kings III is the continuation of the beloved series from Paradox Development Studio, renowned for blending global strategy with role-playing elements set in a medieval backdrop.

Take charge of a noble house and oversee the fate of your dynasty through meticulously recreated medieval history. Start your journey in 867 or 1066, capturing lands, titles, and vassals to build a state worthy of your noble family. Death is not the end if your lineage continues. Play as your own heirs (planned or unexpected).

Discover a living world filled with peasants, knights, courtiers, spies, rogues, jesters, and secret romances. You can seduce, betray, execute, and outwit numerous historical figures.

Create your kingdom across vast medieval territories, from the snowy fjords of Scandinavia to the sands of the Somali Peninsula, and from the British Isles to the rich lands of Burma. Inherit and conquer thousands of counties, duchies, kingdoms, and empires.

Each character is a unique individual, with actions shaped by their traits and personal choices. Rule through fear or inspire love in your subjects by showing generosity. Personal qualities can be inherited, whether they be genius or folly.

Raise your heir by entrusting their education to a trusted guardian or taking matters into your own hands. Undesirable heirs can be married off to members of other families or dealt with in more permanent ways.

Customize your ruler and your entire dynasty by altering appearances and traits. Build a lineage worthy of your virtues and vices.

Manage a constantly changing state. Grant titles at your discretion or seize those of your rulers. Beware of enemies, whether they are rebellious peasants or vengeful concubines.

Shadows never sleep; danger lurks around every corner. Hire agents and unsavory characters to undermine, blackmail, or even eliminate those who stand in your way. Or, inspired by legends and stories, carve your path to power through seduction.

Blood will be spilled. Rally militias and mighty knights. Set tactics and give orders to your armies. Raid neighboring lands or call upon mercenaries and monastic orders for combat.

Become a pious king who wins the favor of religious authorities, or create your own faith and engage in a battle between eternal glory and eternal damnation.

Cultivate culture, build castles and fortresses to increase your wealth and influence, and fortify your borders.

The possibilities are endless: thousands of dynamic events and decisions that shape destinies await, crafted for every conceivable character in any imaginable situation. You can etch your name into history in countless ways.
