KOEI TECMO Europe, and develoeprs Kou Shibusawa, have today announced that ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows PC (via Steam) on 24th October 2024.
This ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE is based upon ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS VIII with Power Up Kit, complete with both the “All Officers Play” and “All Periods Scenarios” features, as well as a host of new content, such as the number of playable officers being increased from 600 to 1,000, to deliver the most complete Romance of the Three Kingdoms experience to date.
All Periods Scenarios: The “All Periods Scenarios” feature has also been updated to offer over 55 scenarios, including fictional ones, making it the largest number of scenarios available in the series history. From the end of the Eastern Han dynasty to the final age of the Three Kingdoms period, players can choose any officers and which period they’d like to play, creating numerous possible combinations for an experience unique to each player.
All Officers Play: Through the evolved “All Officers Play” feature, players have the option to take control of the powerful rulers and the officers who serve them or be a free officer and join a vagrant army. This enables players to explore the Three Kingdoms with a fresh and unique experience every time through thanks to the incredible amount of new features and the variety of associations formed both on and off the battlefield highlighted by both “Symbiotic” and “Antagonistic” relationships.
Symbiotic: “Symbiotic” relationships are established when the player interacts with other officers through situations like commands or events and a certain number of “sympathies” occur. When a player is in a “Symbiotic” relationship with another officer, the officer will join and help the player in many situations, including domestics, councils, and battles. On the other hand, if the relationship is “Antagonistic”, the officer will not accept visits from the player and may even hunt them on the battlefield.
Relationship Chart: The “Relationship Chart” not only shows relationships like “Sworn Siblings” and “Spouses” but also depicts special relationships such as “Destined Partners”, “Rivals”, and “Sworn Enemies” as well as displaying the various “Symbiotic” and “Antagonistic” connections. As relationships deepen with others, “Linked Forge” may even occur during battles and missions. These special links allow for a better performance beyond individual capabilities in various situations.
ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE will be available digitally on 24th October 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC (via Steam). Those that pre-order will also receive the “Coalition Against Cao Cao” scenario while early purchases of the game will receive the “Valor Triumps” scenario. A Digital Deluxe Edition containing Digital Art Book, Digital Soundtrack and an additional scenario will also be available.
