River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next – Game Introduction Trailer:
Arc System Works America, Inc. has released the Introduction Trailer for River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next, the upcoming game sequel and new chapter in Kunio’s “Three Kingdoms” story. The game will release on November 7, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam.
As the sequel game to 2022’s River City Saga: Three Kingdoms, the River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next game will feature 6 exciting story chapters filled with over 100 River City characters in comedic twists spanning from after the Battle of Red Cliffs to the climax of the Three Kingdoms tale in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains. River City’s ruffian, Kunio, takes the heroic role of Guan Yu as he joins the hot-blooded battle over the nation.
In the newly released Introduction Trailer, players will learn more about the first two chapters that begin game’s wacky journey:
Chapter 1: Journey’s Start: Liu Bei and his team enjoy a well-deserved rest in Gong’an after the intense Battle of Red Cliffs. However, they find themselves on the move to enact a strategy of Zhuge Liang’s to seize Jingzhou and fortify their base. Zhuge Liang first outwits Zhou Yu to take over Jiangling, then steadily claims more land throughout Jingzhou, establishing it as Liu Bei’s territory. The team then encounter Huang Zhong, who will later become one of the Five Tiger Generals, in Changsha, engaging him in battle. Their confrontation eventually leads to an emotional connection, and he joins Liu Bei’s forces. With an unexpected yet powerful new ally on their side, the Liu Bei army takes complete control of Jingzhou.
Chapter 2: Kingdom Split: After establishing their home base in Jingzhou, Liu Bei’s group march off to provide reinforcements in Yizhou at the request of a messenger. However, their efforts are ill received by generals who have their doubts about Liu Bei’s support, seeing him as a villain seeking to steal control of Yizhou. With the help of his allies and his good character, Liu Bei eventually clears up the misunderstanding and winds up obtaining Yizhou along the way. This marks the formation of the Three Kingdoms as Zhuge Liang envisioned, and the start of extensive battles back-and-forth between the leading powers.
