Nosotros're taking a slightly different approach to DLC for Total War: Iii Kingdoms; based both on the heady opportunities the Romance of the Three Kingdoms source textile offers us and the preference we know players have for larger DLCs which adds considerable new replay. What you'll meet initially for TW3K DLC are what we are calling "Chapter Packs."

We'll be taking notable chapters from Romance and creating new start positions that reverberate their events. Adding a cast of new and familiar characters, features and objectives each time, that exemplify that chapter and the thrilling stories information technology tells. While you'll find a selection of new heroes and villains populating each new chapter, y'all'll also see some familiar faces from the primary game. However, they'll exist at a different point in their life, and are likely to have a very unlike set up of needs and desires at this stage in their journey.

At that place will exist a serious clutch of new playable factions and a raft of new mechanics to get to grips with in each, while you'll be playing beyond all of China. Our promise is that, somewhen, when yous start a fresh campaign you'll get to decide where in the epic tale of the Three Kingdoms y'all want to swoop in. Picking from a range of heady scenarios and challenges that reflect some of the most remarkable legends always told.
