Total War: Three Kingdoms DLC guide

Total War: Three Kingdoms is an unusual game in terms of DLC - by choosing such a specific historical period in which to base a game, the options for expansion are immediately limited. Sure, you can try and re-skin an entire grand campaign and jump hundreds of years, but we've seen the middling results of that in the past such as with Empire Divided for Total War: Rome II or Total War: Attila's Age of Charlemagne expansion.

The far better DLC model is keeping the campaign, but adding new characters, units and faction mechanics, which is what they've been doing quite successfully for Total War: Warhammer II.

For the most part Three Kingdoms seems to be adopting this latter method, but with the timeline and separate period start positions added in Mandate of Heaven, we are also now seeing an attempt to grab the best of both worlds. Without further ado, let's see just where we're at in terms of available expansions. Also make sure you check out our guide to the best Total War games as well!
