Koei Tecmo has unveiled the content planned for the February update of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake.  This update brings a host of enhancements and adjustments to the game, along with numerous bug fixes. The update is slated for release sometime in February for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.  A specific release date will be announced later.

• Adjusted battle AI:
