A year and a half after its release in September 2020, Paradox Interactive’s medieval-themed strategy gameCrusader Kings III has sold two million copies, making it one of the fastest-selling Paradox games. A game with almost infinite variety and story potential,Crusader Kings III received critical votes and managed to reach a new generation of strategy players.
The release of Royal Court, the first major expansion pack for Crusader Kings III, last month was also a cause for celebration, as the expansion has already surpassed one million sales. This expansion pack, along with major changes to the game’s culture system and the addition of artifacts, has added new ways to rule your kingdom from your own throne room.
Alex Oltner, Game Director, said: Two million is a huge milestone for the Crusader Kings team, and we are delighted that our Community has placed so much trust in us and that our games have reached such a wide audience. It’s not just for us; I think it’s also good for strategy games in general. We have big plans for CK3 and it’s great to know that so many people are on this journey with us. He concludes.
