River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next is Out Today, with words from the Creator
Arc System Works Co., Ltd. is excited to announce the release of River City Saga:
Three Kingdoms for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4, and Steam on November 7,
2024. Our beloved delinquent Kunio takes on the role of Guan Yu, hero of the Three Kingdoms, to engage in hot-blooded battles all across China.
Follow the story from after the Battle of Red Cliffs to the climax of the Three Kingdoms tale in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains, with an alternate River City-style twist!
Hop on your trusty motorcycle Red Hare to zoom through the stages, sending all enemies in your path flying. An arsenal of new Tactics and special attacks let you take down even the most powerful foes in style.
Commemorative Comment from Director Kenji Sato
“River City Saga: Three Kingdoms is out at last! People are mostly familiar with the
Romance of the Three Kingdoms tale up until the Battle of Red Cliffs. The story after
that, however, is full of dramatic twists and turns as well. I wanted to give players a
chance to enjoy the later chapters of the Three Kingdoms story. If you play this and
the previous River City Saga: Three Kingdoms game, you might find yourself oddly
familiar with the classic tale. Ride on Red Hare to travel through our River City take
on the traditional world! Be sure to see for yourself the surprising twist at the end of
the story.”
- Kenji Sato, Director, Arc System Works
Game Overview
Send Enemies Flying with the New Red Hare Mechanic!
Red Hare makes an appearance as a motorcycle this time! You can summon Red Hare when the gauge is full, allowing you to travel through stages on the bike. Toss enemies aside as you make your way through the tide unscathed. Obtaining dedicated parts even lets you customize your Red Hare to your own personal style.
Meeting certain conditions might even evolve Red Hare from a motorcycle into something… more?
A Uniquely River City Take on the Three Kingdoms Tale!
The story follows the ever-growing Liu Bei army and their intense battles against the rivaling Cao Cao forces, until the climax in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains. Enjoy the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with a comedic twist you can only find in the River City version of the tale!
Unleash Exciting Tactics and Special Attacks!
The Three Kingdoms battles are renowned for their powerful military tactics. Unleash them for yourself in battle, with a selection of unique Tactics such as the Freeze Tactic, where sumo wrestlers join the fray to hold the enemy in place, or the ground-shaking Earthquake Tactic. Combined with the skill tree system for learning special attacks, you can cook up your own personal approach to take down the array of enemies standing in your way.
