Crusader Kings 3 is someway three years previous, and Paradox’s grand technique recreation is celebrating in type – and with a variety of stats – by dropping the information that it’s offered over three million copies in that point.
The spectacular gross sales determine – made that bit extra spectacular by the extra stat that over 1.3 million new gamers have picked it up in 2023 alone – joins a veritable barrage of massive numbers from Paradox that give some perception into what the CK3 neighborhood have been as much as over the past three years.
That features the unsurprising reveal that gamers actually like to homicide their ruler rivals, with over 50 million homicide schemes efficiently pulled off. That outnumbers the variety of hopefully-less-murdery nupitals which have taken place, with simply shy of 34.5 million wedding ceremony celebrations and 1,000,000 grand weddings held in-game.
That stated, apparently there have been nearly 7,800 bloody weddings – the place your would-be partner and/or their complete dynasty are offed, Recreation of Thrones-style – so it’s not fully protected to attend a marriage within the Center Ages simply but.
An anniversary video runs via the stats, in addition to going again via Crusader Kings 3’s historical past up to now, from its announcement means again within the pre-COVID occasions of late 2019 via the gamut of expansions, occasion packs and different DLC which have adopted since, from Northern Lords in 2021 to final 12 months’s Royal Courtroom, Destiny of Iberia and Mates & Foes, and this 12 months’s Excursions & Tournaments and Wards & Wardens, the latter launched simply final week.
After all, Paradox aren’t accomplished with CK3 but, both. The video ends with a tease for the upcoming Legacy of Persia flavour pack, on account of drop earlier than the top of the 12 months.
