If you thought that today the gaming community will not be faced with yet another delay, well, you are very wrong.
Koei Tecmo and developer Kou Shibusawa have announced a delay in the release of the highly anticipated Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake, shifting from its originally planned early 2024 launch to a general release window in 2024. This remake, set to be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam, marks the revival of the historical simulation masterpiece after two decades.
One of the key features of the revamped game is the enhanced “Play as All Officers” option, granting players the ability to step into the shoes of any officer in the Three Kingdoms world. Beyond this, the game introduces compelling elements such as “Destiny,” a factor capable of dramatically altering events, and “Tales,” offering a diverse array of stories to explore. The addition of new battles, where officer emotions directly impact outcomes, adds an immersive layer to the gameplay.
Blending 2D and 3D technologies, the remake showcases a mix of both new and nostalgic visual effects, accompanied by a wealth of officer portraits created specifically for this title. Promising the largest number of officers and scenarios in the Three Kingdoms series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake invites players to immerse themselves in the grandeur of historical military drama. Though the wait has been extended, the prospect of a richer and more intricate gaming experience makes the delay all the more intriguing for fans.
Here is the official message about the delay:
