Collector’s Edition

The Total War: THREE KINGDOMS Collector’s Edition will be produced in a single, exclusive production run.

Influenced by the modern historicist Chinese art that defines the game’s visuals, the Collector’s Edition ships in a beautifully modern, sleek, and minimalist luxury presentation chest, featuring vibrant red colouring and adorned with a premium gold leaf “Three Kingdoms” Chinese stamp. Contained within is a collection of riches fit for an emperor:

24cm Guan Yu Statue

A weighty resin statue of the legendary hero Guan Yu, a general so talented that in death he ascended to the heavens and earned godly status. His full title and godly remit is:

Guan the Holy Great Deity; God of War Manifesting Benevolence, Bravery and Prestige; Protector of the Country and Defender of the People; Prow and Honest Supporter of Peace and Reconciliation; Promoter of Morality, Loyalty and Righteousness.

People pray to his statues when looking for courage, strength, protection, and wealth. As one of the most iconic characters of Three Kingdoms China, he features as a key character in the game and his statue is certainly worthy of adoration.

Exclusive Art Book

Inside a black faux-leather cover lies a trove of beautiful and exclusive artwork; painterly landscapes,

resplendent character concepts, rich and vibrant building designs, and heaps of authentically-

detailed arms and armour. A sumptuous visual feast across the pages.

Premium Limited-Edition Case

High quality game case made of authentic calligraphy paper adorned with box-art that masterfully melds painterly Chinese watercolour and ink effects.

Double-Sided Poster Featuring Campaign Map and Warlord Poster

Get a closer look at your cast of playable Warlords and the lands you will conquer with them. One side outlines the vast geography of China as it sits before you, the other introduces you to the varied characters and playstyles at your disposal.

FAQ

Pre-Order Questions

Do I have to pre-order to get the Yellow Turban Rebellion Warlord Pack DLC for free?

No, it’s an early adopter bonus. You can buy Total War: THREE KINGDOMS in the first week after release and still get it for free as well.

Will reviews be available before release?

Yes. We will make sure that both journalists and YouTubers will have the game early enough that they can publish their reviews before launch day.

Why do you offer a bonus for pre-ordering?

We obviously want our games to be played by as many people as possible at launch, so it’s useful and very effective for us to reward early adopters. We could promote the game’s launch through advertising in other ways (like buying adverts on websites) but we think that spending marketing on creating content for the game that can then be offered for free is also a good way of promoting it.
