Crusader Kings’ hook is that that you’re playing a character who’s the head of a dynasty, rather than playing as a country or a faction. You have personal problems, relationships, moments of growth and crises of faith—it’s an RPG nestled inside a strategy game. In Crusader Kings 3, Paradox isn’t throwing the strategy out, but it is drawing out the roleplaying elements more.

The game, like its predecessors Crusader Kings and Crusader Kings II, is a dynasty simulator set in the Middle Ages, and is expected to run from the Viking Age to the Fall of Byzantium. Dynasties can form cadet branches that have their own heads and act mostly independently from their parent dynasty. The heads of dynasties will be able to use a new resource known as Renown to assert their control over their house. For example, the heads of dynasties are responsible for legitimizing bastards.
