“Three kingdoms, one destiny — either you rise as emperor… or fade into history.”
In 2019, Creative Assembly brought one of history’s most legendary eras to life with Total War: Three Kingdoms: a time of betrayal, honor, friendship, and war, where every commander could become a legend—or fall in their own blood.
The Struggle Between Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan
Three mighty clans, each with their own vision and ambition, vie for control of the crumbling Han Empire:
- Liu Bei: the symbol of justice and the people’s champion
- Cao Cao: a ruthless genius in politics and warfare
- Sun Quan: the fiery young heir of the southern kingdom
Key Features of Total War: Three Kingdoms
- Deep focus on relationships: trust, betrayal, and alliances
- New dueling mechanics for legendary generals on the battlefield
- Stunning map of ancient China: from misty mountains to golden plains
- Dynamic AI and complex diplomacy
- “Romance” mode inspired by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel for epic, larger-than-life battles
A Living Legend
