This game will feature characters from the historical Chinese Three Kingdoms era and its related folklores, such as Zhao Yun, Sun Shangxiang, Xiahou Dun, and Lu Bu. Players will be able to form their own armies with these leader characters. Each of them will also have unique skills and stratagems that play in a similar fashion to Koei Tecmo’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy game series.

Players will be able to test their skills with not only other people, but also an AI-powered CPU opponent. The AI in question will be GARYU from HEROZ, the company that also made the dlshogi AI which won the World Computer Shogi Championship twice consecutively.

This will be the first time Koei Tecmo has released a new game for Apple Arcade worldwide. While a majority of the company’s games available regularly on Apple devices only appear exclusively in Japan, the first two Monster Rancher entries and the Atelier Resleriana mobile game are also accessible globally.

Three Kingdoms Heroes will be available worldwide on Mac, Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad devices via Apple Arcade on January 9, 2024.
