Crusader Kings 3’s Coronations DLC Launches to Mostly Negative Reviews Over Buggy Oaths and Thin Content

Priced at $4.99, the small Chapter 4 release is prompting calls to be free.

Overview

  • Paradox released Coronations as a minor add-on focused on coronation ceremonies and a ruler’s oath mechanic.
  • Within hours of launch, Steam labeled it Mostly Negative, with reports citing roughly a quarter positive user reviews.
  • Players describe the oath system misfiring by flagging completed pledges as broken and applying penalties.
  • At £4.29/$4.99/€4.99, many argue the feature set should have been a free update, with mods already disabling or replicating it.
  • The reception is feeding worries about Paradox’s quality control ahead of the larger All Under Heaven expansion.
