Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires Trailer Shows Your Custom Character’s Adventure

Today Koei Tecmo released a brand new Japanese trailer of the upcoming Dynasty Warriors game Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires.

This time around, the trailer doesn’t focus on the famous warlords that the series is famous for, albeit they do appear. It focuses on pur custom character, from his creation and customization to his rise to glory.

Incidentally, the demo promised a few days ago has been released in Japan.

You can watch it below.

Here’s how Koei Tecmo describes the game.

“Combining the 1 vs. 1,000 action of DYNASTY WARRIORS with the addition of strategic elements, including unit command, DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires sets players on a quest to conquer ancient China by both sword and strategy. Powerful Siege Battles enable commanders to deploy units to capture strategic points on the map like castles. Experiencing high-stakes fights at every turn, players can now take control of these 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.

Also added is an enriched edit function that enables gamers the ability to create the officers of their dreams and interact with the heroes of ancient China through an expanded domestic system. Players will be able to live the life of 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 than ever before.”
