Today Arc System Works announced River City Saga: Three Kingdoms, which transports the co-op beat ‘em up action to one of China’s most famous historical periods. Aside from the new setting, this looks to be River City as we all know it, with the kicking, punching, weapons, and stumpy characters all accounted for.
