14 DAY TRIAL // The team at Paradox Interactive announces that Crusader Kings II, the grand strategy title focused on the lives of medieval rulers, has managed to sell more than 1 million copies all over the world, a very solid performance for a title that was initially launched on the PC in 2012 and has since then received a number of expansions.
The company also says that the extra content launched for the game has also sold about 7 million units and that 100,000 players each month engage with the experience.
The most interesting fact shared by the company is that the average Crusader Kings II owner has spent a little more than 99 hours with the game, which is a huge number for any modern title.
Fredrik Wester, chief executive officer of Paradox Interactive, states, “I want to thank every one of those million fans who have picked up Crusader Kings II for proving our point about game design for the truly dedicated. We make games for people who want to dive deep and explore a title with endless possibilities, where each player develops their own in-game story – and our players have responded.”
At the moment, Paradox is working on a new expansion for the title, which might also be its last, called Charlemagne.
It will move the start date to 769 and will introduce an entirely new situation for Europe, with a narrative focused on the way the ruler of the Frankish Empire can reshape the continent.
