posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The official channel for game developer Tecmo KOEI began streaming a promotional video for the previously revealed Dynasty Warriors 8 (Shin Sangoku Musou 7) PlayStation 3 game on Tuesday. The three-minute video shows cut scenes from the game's story mode and introduces four more playable characters — Li Dian (Kōsuke Toriumi), Yue Jin (Kentarou Itou), Lu Su (Taiten Kusunoki), and Guan Yinping (Shiori Mikami) — for a new total of over 70.
The video also demonstrates the variable attack, the EX attack, and the new moves: variable counter, storm rush, and "awakening."
The game will be released in Japan on February 28, 2013 with a Treasure Box edition that bundles an exclusive character 3D crystal (with LED stand), an original soundtrack, and an Omega-Force strategy/character design collection book. The first copies will include a serial code for downloading Zhao Yun and Sun Shangxiang from Romance of the Three Kingdoms 12. Each person who pre-orders a copy will receive one of four exclusive smartphone pouches. The Treasure Box edition retails for 13,440 yen (about US$163) and a standard edition retails for 7,560 yen (US$92).
Tecmo KOEI released Shin Sangoku Musou 6 in English as Dynasty Warriors 7 last year, while Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires (Shin Sangoku Musou 6: Empires) will arrive in North America on February 26, 2013.
