Koei evidently knows the value of a little romance around Valentine's Day. The publisher today announced that it will release Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI for the PlayStation 2 in North America on February 6, just in time for couples that share a love of strategic warfare sims.

The 11th installment in the series based on a 14th-century novel chronicling a turbulent time in Chinese history, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI brings a graphic overhaul for the series. In addition to using real-time 3D animation for duels and other events in the game, Koei has used a style of art intended to evoke Chinese ink paintings.

Originally released for the PC in Japan back in March, the game was ported to the PS2 with additional scenarios included. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older.
