Three Kingdoms 8 Remake Storms Back with New Features and Epic Content!
KOEI TECMO’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms comes storming back, ready to blow fans away! After more than 20 years, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is bringing all-new features, officers, and visuals. This remake promises to deliver the most content in the series’ history, with over 1,000 officers and updated scenarios.
For those who don’t know, Romance of the Three Kingdoms first launched in 2001 in Japan and hit North America in 2003. This tactical RPG gem is coming to life again, with a digital release on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Steam® in early 2024.
The remake is not just a nostalgic trip—it’s an upgrade! We’re talking about revamped gameplay, modern visuals, and new features like the “All Officers Play” mode and “All Periods Scenarios.” New officers and forces have been added, bringing the officer count from 600 to 1,000! And the 55+ scenarios, including fictional ones, let you relive the action from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms.
“The remake retains the key features of RTK8 – simple rules for beginners, a balance between field and siege battles, and terrain use – but the tempo and balance of the game are greatly improved.”
The game’s battle system is still turn-based but with major upgrades, including a new “Link Forged” system that introduces more tactical play. And for the history buffs, the “Tales” feature helps trigger specific events, allowing you to control or avoid certain outcomes.
