Sangokushi BOND is set to launch in early access on Steam on July 14, 2026, priced at 800 yen as a one-time purchase, following a demo released during Steam Next Fest in June 2026.
Sangokushi BOND is a deck-building roguelite army battle game developed by Gerappa, a joint venture between Sugorocks and GENDA. The game is led by Yasuhiro Nishiyama, creator of the Sangokushi Taisen series, who founded the developer Get Wrapped Up in May 2025. The game shifts from the arcade-style pay-per-play model of Nishiyama's earlier work to a fixed-price model with no pay-to-win mechanics.
A demo titled Sangokushi BOND Banjo Enbu Demo launched on Steam Next Fest on June 15, 2026, and was available until June 22. It featured a new mode called Banjo Enbu with 14 stages of increasing difficulty, replacing the asynchronous ranked battle mode from a previous playtest held in May. The demo included three playable strategists: Guo Jia, Da Qiao, and Zhuge Liang. The demo was later extended to June 30, adding two new quests for a total of 16 stages, and was renamed Board Performance Demo.
The early access version, releasing July 14, includes three modes: Board Performance, a command exercise with public clear rates; Gunshi Chronicle, asynchronous PvP against other players' past data; and Rival Match, real-time friend battles via code. A fourth mode, Tenmei Sen (weekend-limited real-time PvP), will be added later. The game features over 100 generals with newly drawn illustrations, with more planned via updates. Players recruit generals via a full draft system within a cost limit and engage in automated siege battles on a grid board.
