Sangokushi BOND Early Access Launches on Steam With Three Modes
Gerappa released the early access version of Sangokushi BOND on Steam on July 14, 2026. The buy-to-play title, priced at 760 yen, is a deck-building roguelite army battle set in the Three Kingdoms period. It was created by Yasuhiro Nishiyama, known for the Sangokushi Taisen series. The early access version includes three game modes: Board Performance, a stage-clear mode with global leaderboards; Gunshi Chronicle, an asynchronous versus mode against other players' past data; and Rival Match, an online real-time friend match mode. Alongside the release, four time-saving downloadable content packs are available at 500 yen each, one for each of the Wei, Shu, Wu, and Warlords factions. Each pack grants immediate access to 11 officers plus cosmetic items, though all officers can be earned through normal gameplay without purchase. A release commemorative live stream is scheduled for 20:00 JST on the official YouTube channel, featuring the development team and guest Hayate Gundan 1 Lord. Players who match and defeat producer Nishiyama during the stream can earn a special title.
