The adaptation brings a manhua that reframes the Three Kingdoms from Sima Yi's perspective into an SRPG, using a card-based system to replicate the source material's emphasis on strategy and counterplay.

Bilibili showcased a simulation RPG based on the long-running Hong Kong manhua The Ravages of Time at Bilibili World 2026. The game, titled Three Kingdoms: The Ravages of Time, focuses on Sima Yi and Liao Yuan Huo (later Zhao Yun) and features a strategist card system. A closed beta for PC and Android begins July 23 in mainland China.
Producer Qian Cheng, a longtime reader of the manhua, said the team wanted to create a work based on Chinese culture and chose The Ravages of Time for its distinctive angle. The story will be delivered in seasons, with original storylines that expand the Three Kingdoms world rather than racing ahead of the ongoing manga. The core gameplay mechanic is the military strategist card system, where strategists such as Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Jia Xu, and Xu Lin each have unique abilities. Players assemble a deck before battle and time activations based on unit type and terrain. Qian Cheng said the SRPG format was chosen because it best expresses the source material's tactical exchanges. The game is planned for release first in mainland China, then Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, with a potential Japanese release later.
