Paradox Interactive has launched Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead in which players find the world overcome by sickness. This is the latest expansion for the award-winning strategy role-playing game. The expansion introduces new epidemics such as the infamous Black Death.
Legends of the Dead gives players more ways to establish a lasting legacy that lives on in the memory of subjects (and rivals) for years to come. With this expansion, monarchs can create epic retellings of family histories, leverage storytelling to their political benefit, craft elite buildings, host feasts, and much more. But even legends can’t escape the great plague of the Middle Ages. In Legends of the Dead, epidemics such as the Black Death loom, waiting to transform the social and political landscape forever.
