Koei Tecmo recently announced the upcoming "Dynasty Warriors 9." Not a lot of details were given about the next chapter, although "Dynasty Warriors 9" will allegedly be a rebirth of the franchise.
'Dynasty Warriors 9' Features Major Changes
In January 2016, Koei stated that there will be a huge announcement within the year. Players immediately believed that the next "Dynasty Warriors" is already in the works, since the last chapter launched in 2013, followed by a couple of expansion packs.
According to Siliconera, producer Akihiro Suzuki said that they cannot announce the platforms for "Dynasty Warriors 9" in the meantime. "Dynasty Warriors 9" is the first main-numbered title after a long time, and also marks the 15th anniversary of the series. The game developers are reportedly meeting huge challenges to turn the game in to a rebirth for the entire series. "Dynasty Warriors 9" will go through major changes, including taking on an open-world format that turns all of China into a single giant map.
83 Playable Characters and Various Locations
VG247 revealed that "Dynasty Warriors 9" players can explore fields with towns, famous battle places like Zhongyuan and Hulao Pass, and mountains, which will prevent every location from turning into a battlefield. "Dynasty Warriors 9" gamers should also expect major changes in the control system. The gameplay concept of 1 against 1,000 will not change but "Dynasty Warriors 9" will most likely keep the progressing difficulty between casual and hardcore modes that Omega Force is known for.
Zhou Cang will reportedly be a playable character in "Dynasty Warriors 9," aside from appearing in "Musou Stars." The next sequel will showcase all the 83 playable characters from "Dynasty Warriors 8," with new ones coming. A teaser trailer for "Dynasty Warriors 9" has also been released. Fans may notice the number "8" in the title, but Japanese games in the series are one number behind, compared to their Western counterparts.
The official release date and platforms of "Dynasty Warriors 9" has yet to be announced, but many expect it to be playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. More updates and details are expected soon.
