The Royal Court is both the name of the expansion and a new hub area being introduced as part of the paid DLC that, alongside its associated mechanics, will be exclusive to emperors and kings who've risen to the peak of their power. 'That being said, you can look forward to news about the 2022 release date Soon™!' 'It's a tricky balance between sentiments like 'It will release whenever we finish making sure it is ready' and things like giving exact timelines only to make necessary but upsetting changes to that timeline when we do actually need time to review and make those changes.

'We also understand the frustration that delays cause, but we would like to make sure we are always as forthcoming as possible and that you hear the news directly from us. There are a number of bugs we really need to iron out, and are taking more time to make sure it is in line with the standards you would expect from us. 'With that in mind we are not, at the moment, entirely satisfied with Royal Court's progress, especially regarding its stability. It is very much breaking new ground, and as such, we are experimenting at every turn. 'Royal Court is not only the first expansion for CK3, but it will also propose a set of features entirely new to the CK series, including cultural evolution and language. 'Earlier this year, we informed you all that we were working hard to make sure that Royal Court was up to our standards. 'This year has been a long and interesting one, to be certain, but we are here all together to make sure that our community gets the product that we have all been waiting for and deserve,' Paradox said in a post on Steam. The developer said it was not 'entirely satisfied' with the progress made on the expansion. Paradox has delayed Crusader Kings 3's Royal Court expansion to 2022.
