What is on the horizon for this game

In my opinion, next year they will release something similar to the expansion - Crusader Kings II: The Republic.

They'll post a 2025 Roadmap in January or early Febuary. Chapter III roadmap went up early Febuary last year.

After Tours and Tournaments, Roads to Power was really unexpected for me. I love the DLC and it changed the entire game along side it's robust update (Choosing a new destiny after death is dope).

RtP wasn't really hinted at in the past by the devs and it always felt like a dream that would evolve into a mod at most. I always refer back to Dev Diary #109 Floor Plan for the Future at the end of 2022, where they explain what the future of CK3 may look like. They drive home things like character focus and how they want to do certain mechanics better than its predecessor, CK2. This was also around the time they were saying "We want to bring players closer to the map.", (this was before Tours and Tournaments).

Dev Diary #109 also laid out a visual floor plan of CK3s future as they talked about Laws, Clans, Nomads, Imperial Mechanics, Trade and Merchant Republics, Religion, late game, and AI. Personally, late game is what needs the most attention. Legends of the Dead and RtP kinda touched on both late game and imperial mechanics. And alongside Tours and Tournaments, they all brought us "closer to the map".

With all that in mind I'm very curious for CK3s future and honestly have no idea where they will go from here.

And of course we all still want better crusades and compotent A.I.

PDX has been cleaning house and picking up their pants recently (delaying games, cutting games, grabbing Indie IPs) while the devs have been tinkering away at Cities Skylines 2 and Victoria 3 after their poor launches. Hell they even touched up Imperator earlier this year. Plus EUV is just over the horizon. Seems like this a potential turning point here for PDX and I'm hopeful that this is a return back to their roots. But we'll see

I'd be down if they came in with a new time line say 400 ad or whatever was right at the fractured end of the Roman Empire, city states piling up, break aways, gaulic raids/invasions. I know theres a mod out there but...its quirky to get it goin and ... meh I got better things to do.

Charles Martel had competitors...Maybe able to play a more pagan briton? dunno.

I love it when they add new start dates, i love the historical aspect of it. Normally, in my games atleast, the ai does whatever it wants with very little regard for anything historical, Id even say less than 20 percent historical. So when they add new start dates and it gives me a more historical outlook and play, I get hard.

Oh, I'd like that too, but we probably won't get it anytime soon. The earliest PDX will likely go back to is 769, like in CK2... it's a shame... my dream would be to cover the early Middle Ages, ideally the 6th century, or at least the 7th, but they'll probably add something in the late Middle Ages first.

I agree
