Lord 2015 – KOEI TECMO America today announced that the
tactical action game, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires, has shipped to
stores and is available in North America for the PlayStation®4

and entertainment system from Microsoft, at the MSRP of $49.99.
The game is also available for PlayStation®3 via digital

celebrated DYNASTY WARRIORS Empires series returns with new
features including deep customization of warriors, horses and
armies, or even the creation of an original character in dynamic
battlefields that evolve with environmental changes.
Additionally, a brand new feature, the ability to import
characters from DYNASTY WARRIORS 7 Empires, will be available
after launch.
DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires focuses deeply on the chaotic lives
of warriors as their fateful decisions affect the rise and fall
of the nations in Ancient China as they bravely fight across
vast plains, bleak wastelands, narrow ravines and immense
castles. Players can select from 83 unique characters, or create
their own original character. The visual customization available
in Edit Mode goes further with the newly implemented ability to
customize horses, banners and "normal" officers. Warriors must
fight against not only enemies but also the forces of nature as
the changing seasons bring new elements to the more than 35
battlefields affected by seasons and the passing of time.
Additionally, the game’s Custom Scenario mode adds the ability
to control what will happen across the vast Chinese continent,
allowing players to adjust every last detail to form a brand new
Three Kingdoms world.
