Crusader Kings 3’s console edition is set to receive a new bundle of content as Chapter 3 becomes available for purchase today on both PS5 and** Xbox Series X/S**.
Much like its PC counterpart, Crusader Kings 3’s Chapter 3 brings two sizeable expansion packs, one of which reworks the Byzantine Empire, alongside an event pack and a cosmetic clothing DLC to spice up your realm’s fashion.
Crusader Kings 3: Chapter 3 Available for Purchase on Consoles
The Couture of the Capets cosmetic DLC unlocks instantly upon purchasing Crusader Kings III’s Chapter 3 on either PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, introducing clothing options inspired by 13th-century French royal culture.
The next scheduled DLC is Legends of the Dead, which goes live during the following week, on November 18. Below, you’ll find its full list of key features, as detailed by the publisher in an emailed press release:
- Legends: Commission an epic retelling of your family history or build your own heroic reputation through great deeds. Promote this legend, far and wide, and see how the stories of the past reverberate through the centuries, and more glory to legendary dynasties.
- Legendary Playstyle: Leverage your living legend status through new Decisions and actions, keeping the stories of your family in the minds of a continent, strengthening the legitimacy of your rule and allowing further choices.
- Legendary Buildings: Establish a reputation as a grand builder like the Pharaohs of old, constructing great churches and fortresses to impress future generations.
- Legendary Feasts: Become known as the world’s greatest host, throwing the best parties with the most impressive entertainment, inspiring your guests to spread the tale of your legendary generosity.
- Court Chroniclers: Hire an official historian to spread the story of your dynasty’s great accomplishments, or use your poets and musicians to turn your actions into art.
- Heroic Legacy: A new dynastic bloodline for the heirs of legendary characters, even using the great deeds of ancestors to justify claims from the distant past.
- Illness and Mourning: New diseases like the Bloody Flux, Measles and Holy Fire may ravage your court, but you can honor your deceased loved ones with dignified Funeral rites, according to your faith.
- The Black Death: The greatest scourge of the Middle Ages strikes down noble and commoner alike, radically transforming the political and social environment. Prepare your realm and prepare your soul, because a rampaging plague may be the strongest enemy facing your rule.
- New Art: Both life and death are given new energy with the celebrated art style that Crusader Kings III fans have come to appreciate. A new exclusive Map Table opens up new varieties of clothing, unit models and holding designs for extra flavor.
At some point after Legends of the Dead, CK3’s Chapter 3 brings Roads to Power on consoles, significantly changing how the Byzantine Empire plays by introducing the new Administrative Government type alongside new events and flavor.
In addition, it also allows breaking away from tradition and embracing the life of an adventurer for hire, roaming across the medieval world in search for gold, companions, and glory.
The final DLC included in CK3’s Chapter 3 on consoles is Wandering Nobles, which “introduces a new Travel Lifestyle and new ways and reasons to travel - incidents and stories related to roaming far from the safety of your court,” building on the travel system introduced in Tours & Tournaments.
The Microsoft and PlayStation Store pages for Crusader Kings III: Chapter 3 go live today, which is where the price of both the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions will be shared.
