About

A boundless Three Kingdoms experience.

To mark the 40th anniversary of the series, we’ve updated the “Play as Any Officer” feature in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake*. Now you can experience the game as any historical figure! We’ve also added exciting new content, including Turning Points, Gems, new events, and a new Chinese voiceover, to give you the best possible gameplay experience.

Key Features

Turmoil and Tension Abound in the New Turning Point System – Experience new gameplay through various Turning Points, each with their own far-reaching effects. You will need to predict which Turning Points are likely to occur and employ appropriate strategies to work alongside or counter them.
Gems Based on Status and Reputation Result in a Variety of Play Styles – Enable a range of possible actions through different Gem types based on your current status. You will have to consider each Gem’s effects to decide which to unlock and use for your officer’s development.
New Features and Data Make It Easier to Customize Your Play Experience – We have added the highly requested Chinese voice option and made all cutscenes fully voiced. We have also enhanced the data for Traits, historical events, and Official Titles, and have implemented in-game editing and Registered Specialties features.
