Paradox Interactive has announced the Crusader Kings III expansion Royal Court at this year’s PDXCon.

Crusader Kings III expansion Royal Court has no release date, but it will launch alongside a major free update for the base game, which brings a new culture interface and more.

The new expansion comes a few months after the strategy game received its first DLC, the Northern Lords – you can read more about that here in our previous report.

Here’s a new trailer for the expansion:

Here’s a rundown on the new expansion:

In Crusader Kings III: Royal Court, all of these new challenges confront you, as your courtiers clamor for attention. Royal Court is the first major expansion for Crusader Kings III, Paradox Development Studio’s critically-acclaimed strategy role-playing game about the medieval world. Powerful rulers can establish the kind of court that inspires troubadours, decorating it with relics from family history and favoring subjects with the answers to their many problems.

Features:

• Throne Room: A visual representation of your royal court will reflect all the accumulated majesty and prestige of your dynasty.
• Hold Court: Interact with vassals and courtiers as they come to you with their problems, seeking a royal judgment.
• Grandeur: Increase the quality of life at your court with fancier trappings and better food, all the better to impress your rivals and attract higher quality guests.
• Inspired People: Talented artists, craftspeople and thinkers can work on new projects, adding treasures and artifacts to your court.
• Hybrid Cultures: Make the most of a multicultural realm, developing a new way of life that is specifically adapted to your population and geography.
• Cultural Divergence: split from your traditional culture, adapting it into something new that better fits your aspirations.

Crusader Kings III is available for Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via Steam).
