Total War: Three Kingdoms hits 1 million copies sold in under a week

The Total War series is finally playing around in a Chinese setting, and now that country is paying developer Creative Assembly back with success. Total War: Three Kingdoms has surpassed 1 million copies sold, according to publisher Sega. It accomplished this feat in under a week. The strategy battler went live on Steam on May 23 for $60.

Total War is a long-running series where players control small armies in real-time conflicts. The franchise has always had a significant audience, but Three Kingdoms is reaching another level. That is due in part to the positive reception from fans and critics. But it’s the Chinese audience that is really setting Three Kingdoms apart from its predecessors in terms of sales.
