Crusaders Kings 3 will make the series’ console debut on PlayStation and Xbox

As home consoles get more powerful, and developers craftier at adapting gamepads for keyboard-and-mouse mechanics, we’re seeing more excellent strategy games come to the PlayStation and Xbox. And thanks to this, Paradox Interactive is bringing what may be its best franchise to consoles for the first time — Crusader Kings 3.

The Swedish strategy game publisher made the announcement today during Microsoft’s Xbox Gamescom presentation. Development studio Lab42 is handling the “adaptation” (they said it’s not a port) for Paradox Interactive, a first for that developer.
