Paradox Interactive announces a May 28th release date for
Crusader Kings II:
The Old Gods, the
Crusader Kings II expansion in development at
Paradox Development Studios. A
new trailer celebrates
the news with the first look at gameplay from this fourth add-on for the
strategy sequel. Here's the deal:
NEW YORK – April 24, 2013 – Soon
Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studios will welcome you to a past
darker than you can imagine, where there are few shining knights or mighty
castles and the kings of Europe are more petty warlords than imposing rulers. We
stand only 400 years from the fall of Rome, and a mere 200 from the revelations
of Mohammed and much of the world still clings to an ancient code written with
iron and blood.
This is the world of Crusader Kings II: The Old Gods, and it is yours for the
taking on May 28.
The latest trailer for The Old Gods is the first trailer to show gameplay from
the expansion. Feast thy eyes on river-going vessels, the new map and brand new
powers that will compete for prestige and prominence.

The Old Gods is the fourth full expansion for Crusader Kings II, Paradox’s
critically acclaimed strategy/RPG of medieval scheming, dynastic fortunes and
crusades against the unbeliever. The Old Gods expansion lets the player start
two hundred years earlier than the Crusader Kings II base game, at the height of
Viking power and when the light of Christianity had yet to penetrate many of the
dark forests of the continent, and the power of Islam was still on the rise.
