A sequel, Crusader Kings III, was released on September 1, 2020. Crusader Kings II stood out from earlier Paradox games in that it attracted a more widespread audience, contributing to the growth of the company. The game is a dynasty simulator in which the player controls a medieval dynasty from 1066 to 1453. Players are able to start at any date between January 1, 1066, and December 31, 1337, though the Old Gods and Charlemagne DLCs allow for earlier start dates of 867 and 769 respectively, and the Iron Century update would later allow a start in the year 936. Through the strategic use of war, marriages and assassinations, among many other things, the player works to achieve success for their dynasty. More information...
