It is 190CE and China is in turmoil. The Han Dynasty crumbles before the child-emperor, who is a mere puppet for the tyrant Dong Zhuo. The brutal and oppressive regime’s power grows as the empire slips further into anarchy. Yet hope blossoms in the form of three heroes, sworn to brotherhood in the face of calamity. Warlords of great families follow suit, forming a fragile coalition in a bid to challenge Dong Zhuo’s remorseless rule. The future of China will be shaped by their hands, but personal ambition threatens their already crumbling alliance.

Inspired by the beauty and artistic style of the age, Total War: Three Kingdoms breathes life into the heroes of this fascinating period as they struggle to unite China under a single banner.

China will run thick with the blood (and limbs) of your enemies in the new Reign of Blood Effects Pack for Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, out Thursday, June 27th.

The Reign of Blood Effects Pack will introduce several new gory and mature-rated effects, animations and kill-moves to the game in both Campaign and Battle, meaning you can witness limb lops, beheadings, and charred corpses in sadistic detail. 

The Reign of Blood Effects Pack will cost 2.99, £1.99, €2.99.  Once downloaded, gore effects can be enabled in the Advanced Graphics Settings of Total War: Three Kingdoms.

Total War: Three Kingdoms is currently available on PC.
