Worth noting that they mentioned you can customise your religion and, I think, dynasty (or just character?), so it should be a lot more personalised right out of the box.
There's some screens on the Steam page:
The Steam page has some screenshots, maybe there will be some early gameplay released some time during PDX Con.
CK2 has an insane amount of content. CK3 will need a couple of years easily.
Gosh those changes sound great.
Their ascent has been incredible to experience.
Yeah, it's bananas. Back then Paradox was a small, relatively unknown publisher of niche strategy games. Now they have enough announcements to rival a console manufacturer.

Oh god, I know it is gonna take some time for it to rival CK2, but man if that doesnt make me hyped.
I was a little skeptical at first, because I wish they'd work on Victoria 3, but damn, those things you quoted really makes the me excited about CK3.
Well the map expansions are in. Don't know about the other content they brought.
Think this is the first deal like this for gamepads on PC. It's similar to how games coming to Epic are announced but without the exclusivety.
It's been in development I think longer than Imperator was and still has a year to go, so that's good news. I think it's reasonable to expect some things to be cut from CK2 because they weren't good and obviously lots of new stuff seems to be added in.
Yeah when CK2 went F2P I had a feeling this might have been their new game.
I recall the people from 3 Moves Ahead saying that they'd heard they were interested in turning a potential sequel into a bit more of an RPG, which is a direction they lightly flirted with already.

It makes a lot of sense. CK2's best aspects are when it leans into being more of a roleplaying game than strategy game. Like personally, I've always enjoyed it most when playing in character vs. optimally. It makes the numbers games of other strategy titles look a little dry in comparison.
It will be interesting to see if people flock to the new game or stay with CK2 because of the content. Always thought their DLC strategy will bite them in the ass eventually if they try to make a sequel.
Nah, it would work out just like any other live/GaaS game. The people that have been playing regularly since it came out will be more than ready for the big new thing. And for whatever it lacks, CK2 will still be there for them.
Like, CK3 is not an incremental sequel, but a radical one. A lot of fundamental systems are being rethought or massively expanded, changing the game at a fundamental level. It's not just "more CK2" but something that (should) stand on its own, if that makes sense.
I am loving this emerging trend of Paradox putting new releases on Game Pass.
The dream would be if game pass subscribers can purchase the dlc at a discount.

We'll see, either way I don't like their bite sized ala carte DLC strategy because I always feel like I'm playing an inferior game without having everything.
