Dynasty Warriors 9 is Announced
Burlingame, Calif. – May 11, in the year of our Lord
2017 – KOEI TECMO America is proud to confirm today the
upcoming western release of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9, a brand-new
installment in developer Omega Force’s series of action titles.
Unifying the classic, time-tested “one versus thousands” action
iconic to the Warriors series with a variety of new features,
characters and content in an expansive open world environment,
DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 aims to deliver the most immersive and
ambitious DYNASTY WARRIORS experience to date.
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 sweeping new narrative of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 is portrayed
across the game’s Critical Missions and Regular Missions which
intertwine to allow players to experience history across a
multitude of perspectives and battles throughout the whole of
China. 83 characters from the DYNASTY WARRIORS series make their
return in addition to new faces such as Cheng Pu, a long-term
retainer who supported three generations of the Sun family and
contributed to the expansion and stability of the Wu kingdom.
