Crusader Kings 3 Meets Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — Collaboration Details Revealed

A new collaboration between Crusader Kings 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has just gone live. With the release of update 1.19, the medieval grand strategy game now features content from the acclaimed Czech RPG — and it’s more than just cosmetic.

Now, you can encounter Henry of Skalitz on the map: he appears across multiple start dates and can be played as a character (if you own the Roads to Power expansion), or simply exist as part of the living world — you can invite him to your court, arrange a marriage with your relatives, or even face him on the battlefield. His iconic sword also makes its debut, becoming one of the most powerful artifacts available through the relic system.

One of the highlights is the addition of Trosky Castle: this unique landmark comes with its own model and artwork and can be constructed in Bohemia, seamlessly bringing the Kingdom Come atmosphere into CK3’s global map. The crossover is further enhanced with music — 19 tracks from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 have been added to the in-game player, now playing alongside the original soundtrack.

Best of all, the collaboration is completely free and doesn’t require owning both games — all content is integrated directly into the update. The crossover goes both ways, too: in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players can discover a book referencing Crusader Kings.

Patch 1.19 itself brings more than just the crossover. Developers have overhauled the event system, introduced character “stories,” added age-related diseases with progressive effects, improved travel planning, and expanded appearance customization. There’s now an option to disable the “table map” for better performance, and several quirky bugs have been fixed — including the infamous one that let you accidentally dye horses pink.

The result is an update that’s not just technical, but thematic: Paradox has effectively woven Kingdom Come into their sandbox, making the world of Crusader Kings 3 even more dynamic and unpredictable.

Earlier this year, Crusader Kings 3 introduced a paid subscription.
