Last month, Koei Tecmo announced that the upcoming Dynasty Warriors 9 will be released early next year, on February 13, 2018. At the time, they announced some pre-order content for the game, but today, they released a brand new trailer for fans to get excited over.
The trailer doesn’t showcase much in the way of new information, but it does feature the two staples of a Dynasty Warriors game: music filled with heavy guitar riffs, and lots of fighting. Fans won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on the game, and in the meantime, make sure to check out our preview of the game:
And now onto the character movesets, which has been a hotly debated topic in the Dynasty Warriors community. Although Guo Jia mostly keeps his scepter weapon design, I feel like his movements in Dynasty Warriors 9 become very similar to that of Zhou Yu’s staff. However, there are still a couple of things that make him -and every other characters in Dynasty Warriors 9– somewhat unique, which are the R1+O unique attack, and both the ground and aerial Musou attacks. I would say that if people are willing to overlook the problem of clones, they will be able to enjoy the numerous possibilities of playing through the game thanks to the open world system.
I can’t wait to be able to explore more of the open world 3rd-century China and the limitless playthrough possibilities when Dynasty Warriors 9 is released later in early 2018 worldwide, for PlayStation 4 exclusively in Japan, and also for Xbox One and Steam in the West.
Dynasty Warriors 9 is set to release on February 13, 2018.
