You just can't keep a good dynasty down. Look at the Giants. Joining our current World Series champions this January will be the next iteration in that other veteran franchise: Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires.

Tecmo Koei made the official announcement earlier today. "The Dynasty Warriors Empires series returns replete with new features including deep customization of warriors, horses and armies, or even the creation of an original character in dynamic battlefields that evolve with environmental changes."

"Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires focuses deeply on the chaotic lives of the warriors as their fateful decisions affect the rise and fall of the nations they bravely fight for. Players can select from 83 unique characters, or create their own original character with a plentitude of options through the edit function. The visual customization goes further with the newly implemented ability to customize their horses, banners and "normal" officers." Hey Tecmo, what's normal anyways?

The Empire sub-franchise began with Dynasty Warriors 4 back in 2004 and offered a more Romance of the Three Kingdoms tactical strategy element to certain parts of the game. In Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires, "players can select from one of many distinct roles which are best suited to them or to experience the epic history and its outcomes through a different methodology of warfare in replay."

"Whether choosing from Liu Bei, a provincial ruler forced to wander the land in search of a home or Lu Bu, an egotistical warrior who moves from one betrayal to another in search of his own glory, players are swept up in the drama of warfare."

The game arrives in North America on January 27 and in Europe on January 30 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Steam. There's not much to the official website, but you can still head over there.
