What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game already features a complete core loop, and we believe now is the perfect time to introduce it to players. Through Early Access, we want players to be directly involved in shaping the game's future. We will listen closely to community feedback to refine and perfect this Three Kingdoms battlefield together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 3 to 4 months, though this timeline may be adjusted depending on community feedback and development progress.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Expanded Single-Player Campaign & Challenge Levels
We will continuously expand single-player content, adding more narrative chapters and unique challenges to deliver a richer combat experience.

More Leaders & Tactical Choices
We plan to introduce a wider variety of unique Generals, further enriching roster combinations and strategic possibilities.

Fully Featured Editor & User-Generated Content (UGC)
We will continually refine our in-game Editor features, empowering players to freely create custom stages and design their own unique chess pieces. Ultimately, we hope players become creators, crafting their very own Three Kingdoms legends.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay mechanics are fully fully developed and playable. Players can relive classic historical battles through stage-by-stage progression in the Single-Player Campaign, or test their skills against others in the "Conquest of the Realm" Multiplayer Mode!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will be moderately increased upon the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Players can share feedback via our community channels, Steam Forums, or directly through the in-game pause menu. We aim to read as much feedback as possible and will publish regular devlogs and patch notes to maintain transparent communication and continuously improve the game!”

About This Game

Chess: Three Kingdom is a strategy game set in the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, seamlessly blending the timeless rules of Chinese Chess with tactical turn-based strategy. Featuring the pieces you familiar but tactics you’ve never imagined. This is an all-out war centered on formations, skills, unit combo, and frontline advancement!

In Chess: Three Kingdom, you’ll step into the turbulent era of the Three Kingdoms.

Every unit is built upon classic Xiangqi rules. No longer just static symbols, they are specialized legions of the Three Kingdoms, each with its own role.

Across the Chu River and Han Border, the board comes alive in a struggle of strategy, sacrifice, and shifting tides.

Every move is a march; every match is a conquest.

In these turbulent times, a powerful army is forged, not born.

Accumulate Military Merit by crushing enemy forces to recruit and expand your ranks through randomized drafts. Every unit features distinct traits and branching progression paths—your choices will define the soul of your formation.

Will you overhaul the enemy with a hail of arrows or shatter their lines with a heavy cavalry charge? The mandate is yours.

The fate of the realm has never rested in one person’s hands. Enter Multiplayer and pit your wits against other players!

On this compact board, every move is a test of nerve and deception—and every piece could decide who lives and who falls. Victory is never guaranteed. The tide of battle can turn in an instant.

One decision is all that stands between victory and defeat.
