Crusader Kings 3: Khans Of The Steppe DLC Release Time

Khans of the Steppe is the upcoming DLC expansion for Crusader Kings 3, with players finally able to take on the role of nomads in the Steppe. This update will turn the Steppe into a region like no other on the map, with changing seasons and fertility levels that must be managed by migration and herders.

Players are now able to let the computer control their armies in Crusader Kings 3, but how do automated armies work in CK3?

While the new nomadic government and playstyle will be available for many cultures across the Steppe, the main focus is on the Mongols, and many players will want to become the Great Khan and expand their dominion far beyond the vast Steppe. There’s also a new Tributary system for all rulers, as well as more advanced raiding.

While an official release time has not been stated, fans can expect Khans of the Steppe to release at around the same time as other updates for the game. This is typically 16:00 GMT, but sometimes it can be 17:00 GMT.

Is Khans Of The Steppe Coming To Consoles For CK3?

Unfortunately, as with other DLC for Crusader Kings 3, console players will have to wait to gain access to Khans of the Steppe on Xbox and PlayStation. This is because the console version of the game is slightly different and behind the PC edition in terms of content.

Crusader Kings 3: Best Personality Traits

In Crusader Kings 3, personality traits play a huge role in how a character operates. These examples are some of the best.

Next on the list for console players will hopefully be the content of Chapter 3, which includes Legends of the Dead, Roads to Power, and Wandering Nobles. Thankfully, until Khans of the Steppe releases as part of Chapter 4, console players can still take on the role of Genghis Khan and other nomads; they just won’t have specific flavor or the Nomadic government type, instead playing as standard Tribal rulers.
