The open beta of "Three Kingdoms Watching China" will open on October 23: Three Kingdoms War Chess Watching China

Oct 24 2025

The Chinese style ink-and-wash war chess game "Three Kingdoms Wangshenzhou" officially launched open beta testing on all platforms today. This work, which combines traditional Chinese ink art style with hard-core strategy and chess experience, has gone through five rounds of testing and 525 days and nights of careful polishing. It will lead you to return to the familiar and nostalgic world of the Three Kingdoms.

Ink painting scroll, depicting the Three Kingdoms in a different way

"Three Kingdoms Looking at China" breaks the visual framework of the traditional Three Kingdoms theme, using ink landscape scenes as the basis and integrating traditional connotations. The plot will be unfolded through scroll stages using traditional comic book techniques, recreating the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms where heroes once appeared. Since the first test, the art performance has been optimized many times, and finally formed a flowing scroll of Chinese style, which restores the freehand mountains and rivers of "rocks piercing the sky and stormy waves crashing on the shore" on a square-inch screen.

Dual-line narrative, reshaping the historical immersion experience

The plot breaks the convention and for the first time unfolds the main plot from the first perspective of the two protagonists Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Players can switch camps at any time to experience the hegemony of "Wei Wu's whip" and the ideal of "supporting the Han Dynasty". The interpretation combines stage plays, comic strips and other multi-angle and multi-form film and television-level narrative presentations, combined with branch details and official poems in the exploration of the big map, to give the classic story a new lease of life.

What is even more worth looking forward to is that the game is linked with the classic song "Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River East". The presentation of this deeply rooted classic melody in the game adds a bit of artistic conception to the Three Kingdoms world created by Sanwang. An exclusive interview with Mr. Sun Yanjun, who plays Liu Bei from the Three Kingdoms, also appeared in a video released on October 22 to support the game. The R&D team consulted Chief Experience Officer Mr. Sun Yanjun’s humbly for advice, and cooperated with the national cultural tourism unit - Jingzhou Ancient City on the ground to jointly build an immersive field that spans virtuality and reality.

Hard-core war chess, a double feast of gaming and visuals

As a war chess game that focuses on the depth of strategy, "Three Kingdoms Watching China" has designed for you a joint attack system, a conspiracy and a unit restraint chain that highlight the characteristics of the classic battlefields of the Three Kingdoms. Those bright generals in history will also be able to be promoted and transferred, giving them multiple paths to develop their characters, and the special effects of deputy generals will further expand the possibilities of lineup matching.

The game also takes into account the needs of players of different levels: the main plot provides a smooth difficulty curve for getting started, and the "Decisive Battle" gameplay will be unlocked on the tenth day after launch, providing the ultimate challenge for hardcore players. The one-on-one gameplay between generals also combines game strategy with visual performance, recreating the style of famous generals in one move after another. Users who are interested in strategy war chess or Three Kingdoms themes should also go to the official website to search and download. Don’t miss it.

Culture breaks the circle and achieves the anticipated work of the year

"Three Kingdoms" won the "Best Innovation Chinese Culture Award" in the 5th CJ China Game Innovation Competition this year, and was invited to participate in the "Copyright in China" themed exhibition held at the United Nations Headquarters, and appeared in large and small exhibitions such as the Global Digital Trade Expo and the Cultural and Creative Industry Expo. It was also recommended by Apple Store Today on the day it was launched. These honors bear witness to the game's efforts in cultural inheritance and innovation, and also represent the country's high recognition of the vitality of "Three Kingdoms" in the new digital trade ecosystem.
