Total War: Three Kingdoms Developer Grants Fan’s Dying Wish
A fan with terminal leukemia has been granted his dying wish to play Total War: Three Kingdoms by the game’s developer, Creative Assembly.
Yesterday, Reddit user TheMissingLink5 posted a message on the Total War subreddit explaining that his younger brother, who had been diagnosed with leukemia last year, has just days left to live. His brother is a fan of the Total War games, and hoped to play the latest historical entry in the series - Total War: Three Kingdoms - before he passes away.
Unfortunately his doctors are unsure if he will make it until the game’s May 24 release date next week, and so TheMissingLink5 sought help on Reddit. Within hours, Creative Assembly’s influencer manager, James Given, and community manager, Grace Carroll, reached out to him and sent a key for Total War: Three Kingdoms.
What John Wick 3 Reveals About His Origin
Spoilers ahead for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum!
John Wick’s backstory has been delivered in piecemeal fashion over the course of the first two films. We know that he was a US Marine, that he worked for the Tarasov mob for years before retiring, that he’s widowed, and that he infamously returned to his killing ways to exact revenge for his dead puppy. But in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, we finally learn the relentless assassin’s true identity.
During his quest to stay alive after being declared excommunicado by the High Table, John seeks assistance from the Russian underworld. They’re headquartered at a New York theater showing the ballet “A Tale of Two Wolves” (because wolves are canines and everything in this franchise comes back to doggos).

Dororo is the Perfect Companion Anime to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Dororo is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in the US. You check out our review of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice here.
FromSoftware’s latest release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, is a hard-hitting and enthralling spectacle of a game. It’s a complete departure from the European-inspired Soulsborne series the developer is known for, instead taking players to the war-torn lands of Japan’s Sengoku Jidai – the age of warring states. This medieval period was defined by bloody battles, political strategy, and a desperate struggle for power from all sides. Choosing to set the game in this era is part of the reason why Sekiro is as exciting as it has proven to be. If you’re finding yourself in love with the style, setting, weapons, and battles - everything that makes Sekiro what it is - you can get an extra dose of that era with a new anime.
