Total War: Three Kingdoms - 2018

[6souls]

SEGA Europe today announced the new historical strategy game Total War: Three Kingdoms, the next major historical title in the Total War strategy series from Creative Assembly, and the first to explore ancient China, will launch in Fall 2018.

It is 190CE and China is in turmoil. The Han Dynasty crumbles before the child-emperor, who is a mere puppet for the tyrant Dong Zhuo. The brutal and oppressive regime’s power grows as the empire slips further into anarchy. Yet hope blossoms in the form of three heroes, sworn to brotherhood in the face of calamity. Warlords of great families follow suit, forming a fragile coalition in a bid to challenge Dong Zhuo’s remorseless rule. The future of China will be shaped by their hands, but personal ambition threatens their already crumbling alliance.

Inspired by the beauty and artistic style of the age, Total War: Three Kingdoms breathes life into the heroes of this fascinating period as they struggle to unite China under a single banner.

Looking forward to this, but I hope there is faction diversity, because its hard playing Shogun 2 again after Warhammer in terms of faction uniqueness.

Pretty, but it's going to fuck with my brain not having Koei's designs for the generals after 20 years.

I feel like these guys are never going to see the families again. They're making Britannia, Three Kingdoms and still working on content and xpacs for Warhammer 2. That's a metric ton of creation from such a small team.

European companies don't fuck around.

I feel like I'd be more excited for a Three Kingdoms-era Total War game if there weren't 20+ different retellings of this same story by Koei.

Good thing I've ignored them all after the 4th one. Can't wait to see Lu Bu's godlike starting stats, though.
