Paradox has announced that Crusader Kings 3's landless adventurer feature – the ability to roam the map as a titleless mercenary, knight, or wandering schemer – is leaving its Roads to Power expansion paywall and becoming part of the base game later this year.
Instead of planting yourself on a throne and managing a realm, the landless adventurer mode lets you lead a travelling band, trade favours with rulers, and bide your time until you're ready to claim a title of your own. It's widely considered one of the most entertaining ways to start a custom dynasty run.
The feature has been locked behind Roads to Power since that expansion launched in 2024. Paradox hasn't given a specific date yet, just a loose promise of later this year. Players who already own Roads to Power keep everything else the expansion includes – the base game upgrade only covers the adventurer lifestyle itself.
