Koei Tecmo won’t leave Omega Force’s game in Japan.

„Unifying the classic, time-tested “one versus thousands” action iconic to the Warriors series with a variety of new features, characters, and content in an expansive open world environment, Dynasty Warriors 9 aims to deliver the most immersive and ambitious Dynasty Warriors experience to date,” the press release says. We will have AT LEAST (!!!) 83 playable characters, as Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires’ entire roster will move over to 9. Variety? Check.

„In Dynasty Warriors 9, players will explore China as it existed when feudal warlords vied for dominance over the land – the waning days of the Han dynasty and emergence of the Three Kingdoms era. Setting out to complete various objectives, players will utilize an unprecedented world map to navigate and traverse a variety of different landscapes ranging from vast plains to snow-covered peaks presented with dynamic day/night and weather cycles. Exploring these impressive environments is made more engaging through the ability to adapt to surroundings to gain the upper hand in battle, with players able to use equipment to circumvent obstacles or blend in to avoid conflict.”

There will be Regular and Critical Missions during the game. Unfortunately, we don’t know what platforms are going to receive Dynasty Warriors 9 (the PS4 is confirmed to be one of them), but we’ll get to know that in the following months, as well as the new features and the narrative.

Until then, a few images can be seen here.
