At this point, all we know is the teaser trailer above and that Kunio and his friends will be in the world of Three Kingdoms. (the \u201cSangokushi\u201d in the title means \u201cThree Kingdoms\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teaser trailer reminds us of a large-scale battle, but the actual gameplay remains a mystery for now. Since the theme of the game is China\u2019s Three Kingdoms, we can assume that it will depict the struggle for supremacy between Wei, Wu, and Shu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official title of the game is <em><strong>Downtown Special<\/strong> Kunio-kun no Sangokushi dayo Zen\u2019in Shuugou! <\/em>so it maybe positioned as a period drama like <em>Downtown Special Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zen\u2019in Shuugou!
