Epic Games Store has made the strategy title Total War: Three Kingdoms available for free for a limited period. Players can claim the game at no cost until January 8 at 9:30 PM. Once added to the library, the game remains accessible even after the offer ends.
Total War: Three Kingdoms comes from Creative Assembly and forms part of the long-running Total War series.

The game focuses on large-scale conflicts and state management. Players control armies on the battlefield while also handling diplomacy, resources, and expansion on a campaign map. The structure allows both solo play and online multiplayer sessions with friends. However, the Epic Games Store version does not currently support cross-play with the Steam version. The developer has confirmed work on adding this feature in the future.
Setting and Playable Characters
The game takes place in China during 190 CE, a period linked to the events described in the historical text Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Players can choose from 12 warlords, each with distinct goals and methods of rule. These leaders differ in how they manage armies, alliances, and territories, which affects the course of the campaign.

In addition to the main warlords, the game includes supporting heroes. Players can assign these characters roles, such as army leaders or provincial administrators. Their abilities influence military strength and regional control, adding depth to long-term planning.
Players can invite friends to multiplayer matches after claiming the free copy. Progression depends on decisions made during both battles and turn-based phases. Choices related to diplomacy, recruitment, and governance shape the outcome of each campaign.
