Romance of the Three Kingdoms sequel gets release date, updated screens

At first, when we saw these shots, we were confused and even a little alarmed. Hadn't this game already come out in Japan, or had we hallucinated the entire thing? Was it pushed back over a year? What happened? Then we remembered that it's a Romance of the Three Kingdoms title, which is probably why the screenshots for the sequel look almost exactly like the screenshots from the first game for the DS. It all makes sense now.

After some in-depth study, we noticed brighter colors and some cleaner lines, but the differences are subtle. Verdict? If you enjoyed the first one (which was not released outside Japan), then the sequel is probably right up your alley. It does feature online play, which makes us a little jealous, considering we love online games.

The sequel is set to hit in Japan November 1, and you can check out the screenshots at Dengeki Online.
