Warfare is a pretty violent and bloody affair. And if that’s your idea of strategy fun, then you’re in luck. The Total War: Three Kingdoms Reign of Blood DLC is a gory blood effects pack for the new strategy game from Creative Assembly.

Enable the pack via the Advanced Graphics Settings, and you’ll get several new mature-rated effects, animations and kill-moves to both Campaign and Battle Modes.

So if your idea of calmly calculating strategies and organising your troops also includes charred corpses, beheadings and limbs being removed, then you’ll want to grab the Reign of Blood pack on Thursday, June 27th, 2019 for £1.99 via Steam.

Or you can just watch the trailer for the DLC right now:

And that’s it – Reign of Blood is purely about adding more violence and red liquid to the game. Total War: Three Kingdoms is available via Steam for £44.99. Or for £46.99, you can pick up the Limited Edition physical copy via Game, which includes a deluxe case, and a double-sided campaign map / character poster. Amazon has the Limited Edition for £1 less, along with the Collector’s Edition listed at £299 for the game, Yellow Turban Rebellion content and a statue. Which seems a bit much when the Yellow Turban DLC is £6.99 on top of the standard game!

Anyway, here’s some more pictures of the gore for those inclined to view them…

That’s going to need more than an aspirin…
