Total War: Three Kingdoms release date confirmed

Sega and The Creative Assembly just confirmed the release date for Total War: Three Kingdoms, the next game in the long-running strategy series. The game, which is set in China during the Three Kingdoms era, is hitting PC on March 7, and those who either pre-order or grab it during the first week of sale will get The Yellow Turban Rebellion Warlord Pack.

What does that mean, we hear you ask? The official description explains how it introduces "three new playable Warlords for the Grand Campaign, enabling players to lead armies of bandits, zealots and commoners in a crusade to topple the corrupt Han Dynasty and forge a new future for the people of China.

"Featuring a thrilling new unit roster of religious and spiritual warriors drawn from the downtrodden masses, this Warlord Pack also introduces three new hero classes - Scholars, Healers, and Veterans - plus new character virtues and skills built around the three tenets of Taoism: Frugality, Compassion, and Humility."

Sega also shared details about a rather swanky Collector's Edition. If that sounds like your jam then head this way for all the details. Otherwise, pre-orders are open in all the usual places.
