Hertfordshire, 10^th December 2025 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Kou Shibusawa are pleased to announce that digital pre-orders for ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle are now open on Windows PC via Steam®.

Players can prepare to deploy their most intense strategies yet with the bundle’s release on 29^th January 2026 on Windows PC via Steam

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle adds a variety of commands that can be executed without the use of ‘Gems’, broadening the gameplay experience and introducing entirely new ways to upheave a player’s situation. By performing the ‘Abdicate’ command in Parliament, players gain the ability to offer the position of Ruler to another officer; furthermore, the Viceroy and Governor may change sides with the ‘Defect’ command, enabling players to enjoy a new style of play in the middle of the game. Additionally, players can shift the tides of battle with ‘Incite’, where a vagrant army can be formed with an individual the player is interacting with as the leader. Players can also tactically dissolve friendships and annul pledges by using ‘Cut Ties’ in order to tip the scales in their favour. ‘Extort’ has also been added as a city command, which will give players the option to threaten market merchants to obtain money; both free officers and officers belonging to a force can perform this command.

In addition to new commands, further elements have been introduced into the gameplay for chieftains of vagrant armies. Employing prominent officers and defeating bandits in certain battles will increase a player’s ‘Might’, which, upon reaching a certain level, will unlock the vagrant army exclusive ending. Increasing ‘Might’ has the extra benefit of enabling players to obtain dedicated powerful ‘Gems’, offering fans freedom of play for a limitless ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS experience. This experience is extended even more with several extra elements, including events and movies that were central to the latter part of the Three Kingdoms, as well as new traits, fictional spouses, and ‘Official Positions’ that can be given to officers.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE, released in 2023, was the first major remake in the ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS series’ history, combining ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 and its Power-Up Kit to provide the most comprehensive entry in the series to-date. With over 55 scenarios spanning the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, renewed visuals, additional battle elements such as linking, and much more; ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE offers fans an unforgettable tactical experience.

^{ABOUT ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE
​Released in 2023, ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE is the first major remake in the ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS series and offered all-new graphical and game system upgrades to help reawaken the title as the newest addition to KOEI TECMO’s long revered franchise. Among the new additions, the number of playable officers was increased and introduced new officers and forces, allowing players to discover new events and relationships between officers for an even more authentic experience. The “All Periods Scenarios” feature was also updated to offer over 55 scenarios, making it the largest number of scenarios available in the series history. Combats in ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE remained turn-based, just like the original title, while featuring a completely restructured system, the result of Kou Shibusawa’s 20 years of know how since the release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII to offer an easy-to-play yet highly tactical combat experience.}
