Sangokushi BOND is in Early Access on Steam as a buy-to-play deck-building roguelite auto-battler from Gerappa. A large update on October 13 adds 29 generals and the strategist Sima Yi.
Sangokushi BOND entered Early Access on Steam on July 14, 2026 at 760 yen, developed by Gerappa and created by Yasuhiro Nishiyama, known for the Sangokushi Taisen series. The game is a buy-to-play deck-building roguelite army battle set in the Three Kingdoms period, with no pay-to-win elements. Three modes shipped at launch: Board Performance, a stage-clear mode with global leaderboards; Gunshi Chronicle, an asynchronous versus mode against other players' past data; and Rival Match, an online real-time friend match mode.
A demo titled Sangokushi BOND Banjo Enbu Demo had run during Steam Next Fest from June 15 to June 22, 2026. It featured the Banjo Enbu mode of 14 stages and three playable strategists: Guo Jia, Da Qiao, and Zhuge Liang. That demo replaced the asynchronous ranked battle mode from a May 2026 playtest. Earlier materials described the full game as scheduled for summer 2026 at 800 yen with over 100 generals, and the developer was listed as Get Wrapped Up, founded in May 2025 by Nishiyama. The Early Access release arrived under the Gerappa name at a different price with three modes.
A July 19 preview described the core loop as recruiting generals with rock-paper-scissors troop type compatibility and positioning them on a grid before battles resolve automatically. The preview noted that the early access build lacked a speed-up or skip function, which may affect replay pacing.
On October 13, 2026 Gerappa will add 29 generals and the strategist Sima Yi. The generals break down as 9 SR, 6 R, 6 UC, and 8 C, with the SR line including Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, Sun Ce, Lu Ji, Dong Zhuo, Yan Shi, Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao, and Huang Yueying.
