Crusader Kings 3's Tours and Tournaments expansion gets May release date

Paradox Interactive’s acclaimed grand strategy game Crusader Kings 3 is ready to hit the road, with its Tours and Tournaments expansion now confirmed to be launching on 11th May.

Tours and Tournaments – Crusader Kings 3’s second major expansion, following last year’s Royal Court – has something of an outdoor theme. Those “tours”, for instance, arrive as part of a new travel system, giving players the tools to plot either a modest trip – perhaps navigating their realm, gifting or extorting their vassals along the way – or a far more elaborate globe-trotting jaunt, whether that be through dangerous or civilised lands, alone or with an entourage.

Tournaments, meanwhile, can be hosted around the map, their demonstrations of combat drawing nearby nobles and wandering knights, and potentially boosting players’ social standing or military prowess. Additionally, players’ best knights can be honoured with special titles and accolades granting bonuses to both them and the armies they lead.
