Koei Tecmo began streaming a trailer for its upcoming PlayStation 4 game Dynasty Warriors 9 (Shin Sangoku Musou 8) on Thursday. The video shows scenes from the game's world and "one versus thousands" gameplay.
Koei Tecmo America and Koei Tecmo Europe will release the game in the West.
Koei Tecmo America describes the game:
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 an upper hand in battle, with players able to use equipment to circumvent obstacles or blend in to avoid conflict.
The open-world game will have Critical Missions and Regular Missions. The game will also feature new attacks, new characters, and other "innovations." New actions include shooting enemies from a distance and using grappling hooks to enter enemy castles.
The staff previously introduced one of the game's new playable characters, Zhou Cang. The character, who is also in the Musou Stars game, will wield a Daisatsutō. (The weapon's name uses a character that is not among the standard kanji characters in Japan.) The game will also add Cheng Pu as a new general. Dynasty Warriors 9 producer Akihiro Suzuki confirmed that all 83 characters who have appeared in the Dynasty Warriors franchise up to Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires will also appear in the new entry.
