UK developer Creative Assembly has signed a new partnership with Chinese publisher NetEase to bring Total War to China.
NetEase will publish Total War’s catalogue of games including Total War: Three Kingdoms, the fastest-selling game in the franchise.
A new collectable card game called Total War: Elysium will also be released on PC and Mobile in China as part of the deal.

“We are excited to bring the historical titles of the franchise to the Chinese market where we have already seen a huge appetite for Total War. Our partnership with NetEase is an ideal pairing with our shared mission for bringing quality gameplay experiences to our passionate fans across the globe.”
