Three Kingdoms HEROES, the latest from Koei Tecmo, is set to launch on Apple Arcade on 9 January 2025. This turn-based battle board game dives into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms saga, inviting players to strategize and assemble teams of legendary generals for intense, chess-like battles.

In Three Kingdoms HEROES, you’ll engage in tactical combat where each move counts. Inspired by the classic logic of games like Shogi and Chess, each unit has unique “Stratagems” and “Skills,” making battles not just about numbers but about planning and execution. Players create unique teams of famous generals, each with distinctive abilities, to lead their armies to victory.

Take on the genius AI “GARYU”, crafted by HEROZ, known for its prowess in tactical AI design like the Shogi master “dlshogi.” With adjustable difficulty levels, GARYU offers both newcomers and veteran strategists a challenging single-player mode, encouraging players to hone their skills before jumping into battle against others.
