Royal Court was first released on PC in February 2022, along with a free major update. It added more details alongside context for the game’s cultural system. There was also the addition of minor court positions, a character inventory system for weapons and armor, new events, and a way for players to design their own custom coat of arms.
Crusader Kings 3 was first released in 2020 on PC. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released in 2022. It's set in the Middle Ages with players starting the game as a character in 867 or 1066. Compared to the previous game, the game map in Crusader Kings 3 is four times more detailed.
Moreover, it's also slightly larger since it incorporates Europe, Asia, and Africa. When the character made by the players dies, they can still play the game but will take on the role of the heir of the character. The game eventually ends in 1453.
