Three Kingdom Heroes brings top-level AI challenges to chess-like duels, coming soon

By VictoriaJan 21,2025

Koei Tecmo unveils a new Three Kingdoms game: Three Kingdoms Heroes! This chess and shogi-inspired mobile battler lets you command iconic Three Kingdoms figures with unique abilities. But the real star? The incredibly challenging GARYU AI.

The Three Kingdoms era is rich with legendary tales of strategy and heroism, a perfect setting for interactive entertainment. Koei Tecmo, masters of the genre, are bringing their signature art style and epic storytelling to mobile with Three Kingdoms Heroes. Even newcomers to the series will find this turn-based board game an engaging introduction, offering diverse abilities and strategic options based on famous historical figures.

Launching January 25th, the game's most compelling feature isn't its visuals or gameplay, but the groundbreaking GARYU AI. Developed by HEROZ (creators of the championship-winning dlshogi shogi AI), GARYU promises a truly lifelike and adaptive opponent.

GARYU: A Challenging AI Opponent

GARYU immediately caught my attention. While AI hype is often overblown, HEROZ's track record is impressive. dlshogi's dominance in the World Shogi Championships for two years, defeating top grandmasters, speaks volumes.

While the comparison to Deep Blue and its chess "grandmaster" status warrants caution, the prospect of facing a genuinely challenging, adaptive AI in a game centered around strategic maneuvering is incredibly appealing. It's a compelling selling point for a game set in a period famous for its brilliant military strategies.
