Paradox ARC Announces Crusader Kings Project for Roblox
Paradox Arc is joining with Magic Spark to oversee the development and launch of a new Roblox game inspired by the celebrated strategy role-playing franchise Crusader Kings
Paradox Arc, a publishing arm focused on smaller or more experimental games, will oversee the launch of a Crusader Kings project for Roblox, a game where players can engage in person-to-person scheming as they and their court gather power and prestige on a dynamic map. Rather than attempting to replicate the entire Crusader Kings III PC experience, the Roblox title captures the spirit of medieval intrigue in a fun, social environment. Engage in light-hearted mischief and drama in a medieval setting - scheming with allies in your chambers, building a strong kingdom and preparing campaigns of conquest from your war tent. Live the royal life, gathering friends and followers and painting the map in the colors of your dynasty.
The title includes the blend of roleplaying and strategy that has made the Crusader Kings games some of the most popular strategy games in the world, rich with personal relationships, and a little bit of scheming on the side.
Designers Magic Spark have a strong pedigree with Roblox development, having already worked on Roblox experiences drawing on the Conan the Barbarian and My Little Pony brands. This project is their first major foray into collaboration with a strategy game studio.
"We’re thrilled to partner with Paradox Arc to bring a taste of Crusader Kings into the Roblox universe," said Nele Vaarmets, CEO at Magic Spark. "As long-time fans of grand strategy games, our team saw a strong opportunity to reimagine the drama and intrigue of medieval kingdoms in a way that’s fun and accessible for Roblox players. This project isn’t about recreating the entire Crusader Kings experience, it’s about giving players a new way to roleplay as kings and queens, build their domains, and write their own stories in a lively Roblox world."
