Paradox Interactive has unveiled an exciting lineup of content for *Crusader Kings III* under Chapter IV, set to roll out throughout 2025. This chapter is geared towards expanding the game's reach into Asia, introducing new mechanics and regions for players to delve into.

The chapter kicks off with the recently released cosmetic DLC, *Crowns of the World*. This elegant pack adds six crowns, four hairstyles, and two beards, offering players more ways to customize their rulers and make them stand out in the courts of medieval Europe and beyond.

On April 28, the first major expansion, *Khans of the Steppe*, will be launched, allowing players to take the reins of the Mongol Empire. As the Great Khan, you'll lead your nomadic horde across vast steppes, conquering territories and asserting your dominance over neighboring realms.

Following this, the *Coronations* DLC, set to release in Q3 (July–September), will introduce a new ceremonial mechanic. Players can now legitimize their rule through grand coronation events, complete with extravagant festivities, solemn vows, and pivotal decisions that shape the future of their kingdom. This expansion also brings new advisor and vassal events to enrich the political landscape of your realm.

The chapter will culminate with *All Under Heaven*, a monumental expansion arriving later in 2025. This update will introduce the entire East Asian map, including intricate representations of China, Korea, Japan, and the Indonesian islands. Players will have vast new territories to explore, conquer, and govern, adding a rich layer of strategy and immersion to the game.

In addition to these expansions, Paradox Interactive plans to release patches throughout the year to refine game systems and improve AI behavior. The developers are keen to incorporate player feedback, with the next Q&A session scheduled for March 26.
