During this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Koei Tecmo has announced Dynasty Warriors 9 Empire for Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. The game is currently slated for an early 2021 release.
Dynasty Warriors 9 Empire combines the 1 vs. 1000 action of the Dynasty Warriors series with strategic elements such as unit command. players can now take control of central points on the battlefield through the use of fire attacks or other stratagem, siege weapons, and, at times, simply by force as commanders execute their strategies and attack enemy troops by issuing vital commands to units throughout the skirmish.
One of the newest addition is an enriched edit function allowing gamers the option to create their ideal officers and interact with heroes of ancient China through an expanded domestic system. Players will be able to live as an independent officer, govern as a kind ruler, or act wickedly as a villain, helping create a more lifelike and fulfilling Three Kingdoms world with ever-changing human relations and dramatic events where the relationships between characters will have a greater influence on gameplay.
Akihiro Suzuki, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empire producer, said:
“This is the 20th anniversary of Dynasty Warriors, (…) and we couldn’t be more excited than to celebrate with our faithful fans by delivering the first new Warriors series game on next-gen consoles, and the first new Dynasty Warriors series game on Switch. (…) This is the first new Empires game in five years, and I can’t wait to deliver the ultimate Empires experience our fans have been waiting for.”
