Publisher and developer Arc System Works have announced River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next, a new release in their throwback historical action sub-series.

River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 with a release set for November 7th, worldwide.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

In River City Saga: Three Kingdoms, we had our beloved hero Kunio as Guan Yu wander throughout the warring states of feudal China. The story picks up from the aftermath of the Battle of Red Cliffs and continues on until it reaches its historical climax at the Battle of Wuzhang Plains. With a total of 100 unique River City characters, the story will not end without a crazy, comic twist.

Features

• The unheard Romance of the Three Kingdoms – More and more generals join the Liu Bei army to rival the stronger Cao Cao army. As both camps ramp up their forces, discover a never-seen-before alternative telling of the novel, obviously rearranged by Kunio and his friends.
• Ride Red Hare and trample your opponents – You can now ride Red Hare and go through the stages on its back! Just ride through anyone who dares stand in your way. And since it’s a bike, you can also find extra parts to customize it and give it the looks it deserves! Word has it that you may also find more than just bike parts, to make your Red Hare… more than a bike?
• Spectacular Tactics and Special attacks – Tactics are emblematic of the Three Kingdoms warfare lore. Of course the Fire Tactics is still in the game, sending fiery arrows into the stage, and so is the Water Tactics that will wash away any enemies who come at you. But this time, we have added a new Tactics that summons generals who helped you in the past, to fight by your side. Use your Special attacks and Tactics to clear out stages the way generals used to (or did they?)!
