Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms S2 [Conquest] Preview

Dear warlords,

Season I is drawing to a close.

From early-game tutorial flows, gathering pacing, and stability issues, to early territory war imbalances, late-season stagnation on certain servers, and a lack of mid-to-late game content density in the world—these were your real experiences and feedback. They have pointed us directly toward what needs fixing.

Season I of Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms showed us the potential of this world, but it also exposed issues we must address. We are still a long way from the truly dynamic, enduring, and engaging Three Kingdoms world we envision.

But our most valuable takeaway is that you are still here with us.

Some of you stayed up until midnight just for a trigger quest;

Some organized logistics, guarded rations, scouted, and built;

And many warlords, even after venting your frustrations, still took the time to write thousands of words of feedback to tell us exactly what was wrong and how to fix it.

All of this reinforces our belief: the war for the Three Kingdoms has only just begun.

Season II is entering its final polishing phase. Today, we want to share some key updates about the upcoming season.

I. Territory War

Territory war has always been the core of Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms.

We want it to be a strategic tug-of-war, full of shifting alliances where organizations of all sizes can find their footing.

In season I, a glaring issue emerged on some servers: dominant alliances conquered too quickly, leaving no battles to fight in the late game. The weaker side lacked buffer room, and small-to-medium alliances struggled to survive into the mid-to-late season.

So for season II, we are making a few major rule adjustments:

1. Alliance Capacity

In season II, the maximum alliance capacity will be reduced to 150 players, meaning each alliance can hold up to 3 clans (down from 6).

Numbers are a part of war, and organizational skill is a form of power. But when a numerical advantage becomes so overwhelming that other alliances have no room to maneuver, territory war turns into a one-sided steamroll rather than a strategic conflict.

We hope this change will give small and medium alliances a chance to carve out their own space through smart positioning, declaration pacing, diplomacy, and battlefield execution.

1. Territory War Declaration Rules

In season II, clan declarations will be restricted by territorial paths. You can no longer declare long-distance wars disconnected from your occupied zones. You must establish a continuous path from your current territory to expand outward.

This aims to prevent dominant factions from declaring war all over the map, leaving weaker sides with no way to defend.

On the flip side, during early season I, the warlord faction gained too much of an advantage on certain servers, heavily suppressing player clans. The warlord faction should feel historically significant and act as a major force on the map, but it shouldn't kill the suspense of the season right at the start. Therefore, we've adjusted their declaration rules as well.

In the new season, the warlord faction will only automatically declare war on a target city after an is successfully initiated.

1. A New Competitive Environment

To foster a healthier world environment under these new territory war rules, we will be merging servers when season II launches.

The APAC servers and will be merged into ;

The EU/AMS servers and will be merged into .

II. New Gameplay

To address the lack of mid-to-late season content, we plan to introduce a brand-new world challenge mode midway through season II. Unlike the bandit and Yellow Turban camps in season I—which spawned at fixed times and locations—these new challenge entrances will appear at random locations in the world based on specific patterns. The instances will feature varying difficulties tailored to squads of different progression and power levels. Even the boss and battlefield types may change depending on where the challenge spawns.

As for rewards, this mode will drop high-tier supplies, new tactics, and legacy tactics that can be kept across seasons.

We hope this provides another meaningful target for scouting, organizing, competing, and challenging in the world outside of territory war.

Keep an eye out for future official announcements for more details.

III. New Spirits

We are bringing new spirits to season II. The previously revealed Zhou Tai and Huang Yueying will both be available to warlords when the new season launches.

Zhou Tai is a fierce warrior of Jiangdong who guards his lord with his life. He offers incredible damage mitigation, bodyguard capabilities, and the ability to suppress ranged fire, delivering a very direct and tough combat experience.

Huang Yueying brings a completely different dynamic to the battlefield. The Three Kingdoms isn't just about charging vanguards; it's also about contraptions, strategy, siege weapons, and tactical deployment. We hope she brings a richer layer of tactical variety to your battles.

Alongside them, we are hard at work developing even more spirits. As for who is coming next—when the west wind blows, you might just hear his hoofbeats.

IV. Season Finale Showdown: Global Server Conquest

At the end of season II, we plan to open a special global cross-server battlefield.

Players and clans from different regions and servers worldwide will drop into the same war-torn battlefield to fight over the central plains.

We want this to be a true global conquest: putting top clans from different servers, dominant alliances from various regions, and commanders and heroes with vastly different strategies all on one massive map to see who will be the last one standing.

This mode is still in planning and testing. Specific release dates, entry requirements, and rules will be shared in upcoming announcements.

V. Cross-Progression Updates with Conqueror's Blade

In season II, the cross-progression system for end-of-season rewards linking to Conqueror's Blade will remain in place.

Please note that season I crossover events (such as the first recharge bonus, season pass syncing, territory war activity rewards, attire syncing, and reforged glaive attire) will close when the season ends. Be sure to link your characters in time. In season II, the achievements, rankings, and combat honors you earn in the Three Kingdoms world can still be converted into top-tier rewards to bring back to Conqueror's Blade (including the exclusive royal attire [Sovereign's Regalia] and the limited legendary mount ).

*The exact list of season II rewards you can bring back to Conqueror's Blade will be detailed in a future announcement.

The issues you constantly brought up in season I—loot drops, the red name system, kit cost reductions, and equipment reforging—have gradually been implemented or optimized. It is precisely because of your feedback that we were able to find the right direction and make these changes a reality.

We will continue this approach in season II, and we hope to keep co-developing this game alongside all of you warlords. Let's keep working together to make every version of Conqueror's Blade: Three Kingdoms better than the last.

September 23: Season I tally data will be officially locked.

September 28: Season II launches.

We hope to see all you warlords back on the grand map of the Three Kingdoms.

See you on the battlefield.
