New Trailer for Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII

30 years on from the first title in the series and eight since its last incarnation to hit the west, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII will be coming to the PC and PS4 on the fifth of July. The game series is a historical strategy game, set in second century China. Players will be able to experience a story rich in Chinese history as they learn how best to utilise the game’s strategic gameplay and advanced game mechanics. Detailed CG cut scenes have been crafted to further immerse players in this historically-accurate tale that highlights the most heroic deeds of the strongest, wisest, and most powerful characters of the Three Kingdoms Era.

To showcase this immersive mode, KOEI TECMO America has released a trailer illustrating the gripping drama of this era of political instability. The first half of the trailer covers the Oath of the Peach Garden, depicting the moment Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made an oath to become sworn brothers. In the second half, players can view a scene from the Battle of Hulao Pass. The three sworn brothers, after joining the allied army to kill the tyrant Dong Zhuo, need to fight his most powerful officer, Lu Bu.
