Total War: Three Kingdoms is free on Epic Games Store- Here’s how to get it

If you are a fan of Total War games where you get to control vast armies from the ancient and medieval ages in grand, simulated battles, then you are in luck. “Total War: Three Kingdoms”, the first Total War game to be set in ancient China, can now be claimed for free on the Epic Games Store. The war strategy game, combining real-time battles with turn-based strategy, will be free till January 8 9:30 PM.

Without the 100% discount, the base game by Creative Assembly would cost you Rs 3,599, so it is a no-brainer deal for a Total War game. There is a grand turn-based campaign waiting for you in Total War: Three Kingdoms. You can also ask your friends to get their free copies, and then invite them to online multiplayer. There is a small catch, though, when it comes to cross-play across platforms, as for now, Total War: Three Kingdoms on Epic Games Store does not support cross-play with the Steam version. The good news is that the developers are working on cross-play support for Steam.

Set in 190CE China, Total War: Three Kingdoms allows you to play as one of the 12 Warlords featured in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, China’s historical epic. Each Warlord comes with a unique playstyle, motivations and objectives.

Besides the 12 Warlords, the game features supporting heroes, too. Their varied talents allow them to become army commanders and provincial governors in your empire.
