Developer Roadmap: June 26 New Season, Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms, and Upcoming Plans

Released 23 June 2026

Overview

Greetings Warlords, Yesterday, we announced that the brand-new season for Conqueror's Blade live servers, [Chaos: A Realm Divided], will officially launch on Friday, June 26. Following the announcement, the most commonly asked questions weren't "Is there new content?" but rather some very direct inquiries:

  • Is this the new season for the live server, or is it "Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms"?
  • What happened to the Three Kingdoms World we heard about?
  • Why aren't both contents launching at the same time?
  • Without pre-orders, are the bonus rewards still available?
  • How exactly will the 4-Star era start and the dual 5-Star Units release work?

Conclusion

On Friday, June 26, the brand-new season [Chaos: A Realm Divided] will launch on the Conqueror's Blade live servers. This is a new season update for the live servers — new seasonal Units, new stages, new challenges, new balancing, new events, and upcoming 7th Anniversary content.

Meanwhile, the much-anticipated [Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms] World Theme gameplay will serve as a major addition during this season and our 7th Anniversary, launching officially after thorough testing.

Q1: Relationship between the June 26 New Season and "Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms"

[Chaos: A Realm Divided] continues the core live-server experience: Siege Battles, Unit combat, Ranked Battles, Seasonal Quests, Unit progression, and tactical warfare across ancient civilizations.

The [Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms] World Theme gameplay is a monumental gameplay addition planned for this season and our 7th Anniversary. It emphasizes World actions, faction wars, resource circulation, organized cooperation, and long-term strategy within a pure Three Kingdoms scenario — not a "Three Kingdoms skin" slapped onto the live servers.

Q2: Why aren't the live server New Season and the Three Kingdoms World Theme launching together?

They solve different gameplay experiences. The live servers follow their own seasonal update rhythm; [Chaos: A Realm Divided] launches first on June 26.

The Three Kingdoms World Theme must deliver an authentic Three Kingdoms war experience covering:

  • How factions advance
  • How resources circulate
  • How players cooperate with each other
  • How daily World activities bring everyone a completely different experience

These elements require extensive testing and feedback and will be introduced as a major addition for the 7th Anniversary.

Q3: Current state of Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms — when is the next update?

The [Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms] World Theme gameplay is actively in development and about to enter its pre-launch testing preparation phase. Vanguard Tests and Co-Dev Tests will be rolled out gradually, prioritizing core players and Warlords active in Siege Battles and Territory Wars.

Q4: Pre-orders and rewards

The pre-order phase for this season has been cancelled; equivalent rewards will be granted immediately at season launch.

During the first two weeks of the season — June 26 to July 8 — Warlords who purchase the new season Battle Pass will immediately receive:

  • 3-Star Seasonal Unit — Yellow Turban Chanters (does not auto-unlock related seasonal challenge Quests)
  • New Season Exclusive Avatar: [Lu Bu]

Q5: PTR and launch quality

The PTR is testing new season content, including the new seasonal Units: Yellow Turban Chanters and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Focus areas:

1. Unit Skill Performance — Yellow Turban Chanters' support & CC-cleansing setup, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's breakthrough and raiding capabilities.

2. Battlefield Positioning Validation — clear tactical value in Siege Battles.

3. Stat and Feel Feedback — skill pacing, damage absorption, damage output, handling fluidity.

4. Bugs and Anomalies Fixes — confirmed issues prioritized for fixes.

Q6: Starting the new season in the "4-Star Era"

The pacing tested in Season 26 continues. The Yellow Turban Chanters, as a signature seasonal Unit, will still fulfill an essential battlefield support role.

Q7: Dual 5-Star Units unlock order

The two 5-Star Seasonal Units unlock in phases: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry first, followed by the White Plume Guards.

Q8: What can I do right now before the new season starts?

  • Watch this week's new round of Unit balance adjustments.
  • Use the limited-time free Doctrine removal to test new season loadouts.
  • Follow PTR info for a sneak peek at new Units and balance changes.
  • Rally comrades, reform squads, and prep alliances — server transfer event is active.
  • Use [Gather to Beacon] to invite friends and veterans back to the fray.

Roadmap recap

On Friday, June 26, [Chaos: A Realm Divided] launches on the Conqueror's Blade live servers: 4-Star Era start, the debut of Sishui Pass, gradual unlocking of new Units, and synchronized new balancing adjustments.

The [Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms] World Theme gameplay continues its pre-launch test preparation phase and will launch officially after thorough testing as a crucial addition for the 7th Anniversary.
