Crusader Kings 3's Game of Thrones mod is coming soon
One of the most popular Crusader Kings mods is making its way to the latest version of the strategy game, adding some Westeros flair to the history game (thanks, Kotaku). You can get your hands on the mod starting April 14, 2023.
Fans originally created the Crusader Kings mod “A Game of Thrones” years ago for the original CK game and then recreated it for Crusader Kings 2. The CK3 version will launch with just one chapter, Robert’s Rebellion, some substantial improvements and expansions in features such as Mega War, and the promise of much more – including Essos – to come.
Mega War is one of the mod’s cornerstones, and the team is promising a bigger version of it this time. It builds on the idea of family ties influencing politics across the continent and makes it possible for regional conflicts to turn into national wars. You could win big if you ditch your liege and pick the right side – or your family could be ruined forever.
A new council system gives you more control over your lands, and the lord of the Iron Throne even gets a special set of bodyguards to (theoretically) keep their family members safe. If all of that sounds too tame, you can play as the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch and oversee the battles with Wilding clans from beyond the wall.
That’s barely scratching the surface of this behemoth mod. It features support for custom characters, delves into Westeros’ culture and religions, and will eventually expand even further to include a larger map, more Game of Thrones events, and iconic creatures from George R.R. Martin’s series, including White Walkers and, of course, dragons.
