The promotion, which was active during the first week of January, allowed players to purchase two games from different genres simultaneously. Total War: Three Kingdoms, developed by Creative Assembly, is one of the most robust titles in the famous strategy franchise, transporting players to the conflicts of ancient China.
On the other hand, Wildgate offers a first-person action experience that combines tactical combat with strategy elements. The game challenges players to survive in a fantastic scenario full of dangers, requiring skill and planning to overcome obstacles.
