New Flavor Pack Coming to Crusader Kings III This Spring

Fate of Iberia Adds New System and More Regional Color

STOCKHOLM — 19 April 2022 - Competing crowns, competing faiths and competing cultures. Medieval Spain and Portugal were fertile grounds  for intrigue and conquest, diplomacy and compromise. Ambitions collided, fueling centuries of dramatic history. In Crusader Kings III: Fate of Iberia, players will be able to engage in that drama in an entirely new way. These grand adventures will be yours to enjoy on May 31.

This flavor pack for Paradox Interactive’s critically acclaimed grand strategy role-playing game introduces Struggles, a new system that highlights the unique historical circumstances that typify regions that have been centers of conflict. In Fate of Iberia, players will have new tools to deal with the region’s particular situation, with rival claims and personal grudges taking center stage amidst the vibrant cultural mosaic of Medieval Spain.
