H2 Interactive announced that it officially released the Chapter IV season pass, as well as the 'Coronations' and 'Khans of the Steppe' expansions, for the Korean PS5 version of Crusader Kings III on October 15.
Added to Paradox Interactive's strategy RPG Crusader Kings III, this season pass consists of four pieces of new content. It includes the instant unlock content 'Crowns of the World', the two newly released expansions, and 'All Under Heaven', which is scheduled to launch in Q2 2027. 'All Under Heaven' will add East Asia to the game, expanding the world map by approximately 30%.
'Khans of the Steppe' focuses on nomadic life and the rise of the Great Khan. Players lead a 'Nomadic Government', migrating across territories to expand their power on the Great Steppe. In the 'Steppe region' where land fertility constantly shifts, players must plan migration routes for survival and utilize the benefits granted to overlords and subjects through 'tributary' relationships.
It also features the 'Scourge of God' mechanics to lead people with the power of the Great Khan. Players can experience events reflecting Mongolian culture and traditions, along with the new bookmark 'Temüjin' and the New Year festival 'Tsagaan Sar'.
In 'Coronations', players can hold a new 'Coronation' activity to establish the legitimacy of their rule and set their future direction through ceremonial oaths. Rulers can invite vassals from across the realm to celebrate a new beginning for the kingdom, with new events surrounding councillors and vassals also added.
'Crowns of the World', the instant unlock content of the season pass, provides cosmetic elements for customizing ruler appearances. Players can apply six crowns inspired by regions around the world, four hairstyles, and two beard styles to royal portraits.
'All Under Heaven' introduces new bookmarks and regional content for East Asia, including China and Japan. In China, players can rise to the position of 'Hegemony' above the emperor to manage the Dynastic Cycle. Rulers can maintain power through the Imperial Treasury and Meritocracy systems, reorganizing the empire in response to shifting political landscapes.
In Japan, players can establish house power from the positions of 'Shogun', 'Kampaku', or 'Emperor', pursuing unification through diplomacy and military force. In Southeast Asia, players can become a 'Devaraja' with the Mandala Government to unify tributaries and build a temple-centered empire. Players can also play as a tributary ruler, completing 'tributary missions' to offer tribute to the God-King and secure the support of the populace.
