Overview

Chess: Three Kingdom is a turn-based strategy game that reimagines the classic Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) rules within the turbulent Three Kingdoms era. Developed and published by 超级鸽 alongside Gamersky Games, this Early Access title launched on November 4, 2026, and is available on Steam with full audio support in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.

Highlights

  • Classic Xiangqi Foundation: Every unit is built upon traditional Chinese Chess rules, but they are no longer static symbols—they become specialized Three Kingdoms legions with distinct battlefield roles.

  • Multiple Modes: Supports single-player, multiplayer, PvP, and online PvP, allowing you to test your tactics against AI or other players.
