KOEI announced today that the Historical Simulation game, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI (RTK XI) is coming to Windows-based PCs throughout North America on July 29, 2008.

“Following KOEI’s successful launch of Warriors Orochi for Windows-based PC earlier this year, the response to bringing more of KOEI’s popular franchises to the platform has been overwhelming,” said Amos Ip of KOEI. “For PC releases, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series has always been at the top of our fans’ wish lists. We are looking forward to bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI to Windows-based PC this summer.”

As the ruler of a kingdom, each player will have complete control over their territories. More than 40 base commands give players the power to govern cities, manage their personnel, practice diplomacy and much more. Complete freedom to develop markets, shipyards, outposts, forts and military units expand on the already substantial benchmarks established by previous editions of the series. Furthermore, players will watch the era come to life through the uniquely individual personalities of the more than 780 officers and supporting characters they will encounter.

For improved control over each military campaign, RTK XI’s turn-based game play allows the player to plan their movements without undue time constraints, and then execute their battle tactics when ready. RTK XI also introduces an entirely new system for researching military techniques, as well as an Advanced Tactics System that allows players to drive or lure enemies into devastating ambushes. Skilled players will be able to link together tactics for maximum damage.
