Heroes' Vow: Three Kingdoms Leaves Early Access On Steam With Japanese Support
A sub-10-person fan team spent five and a half years building the Taiko Risshiden-style sandbox they felt the series no longer provided, and the full release plus Japanese support now puts that substitute in front of the audience it was made for.

Free Wing and NPC Entertainment have released the full version of Heroes' Vow: Three Kingdoms on PC via Steam, priced at 2,070 yen. The single-player Three Kingdoms RPG sandbox comes from a China-based team of fewer than 10 people who grew up on Taiko Risshiden and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It includes more than 1,300 generals, over 20 scenarios, and mod support through Steam Workshop, plus Japanese support added with the full release.
The full release follows a China-region Early Access version in March 2025 and another year and a half of updates. Combat splits into three modes: real-time army battles with more than 30 troop types across over 100 maps, plus turn-based card duels and wars of words with deck-building over a thousand skills and souls. The world runs in three layers, from the full map down to city screens and small-scale stages, with more than 20 scenarios spanning the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Battle of Xiling and over 2 million characters of scenario text.
