    Dynasty Warriors 9 (PC/PS4/XB1)

    Open World, Western release confirmed

    Spoiler: show





    The latest entry in the series, which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, promises to be a “rebirth” with drastic game system changes and set in an open world. There will be towns in the vast fields that players can freely enter and exit, and the map will have considerable differences in elevation.

    A Famitsu interview with Koei Tecmo’s Masaki Furusawa and Akihiro Suzuki reveals that all 83 characters that appeared up until Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires will appear in the game. Zhou Cang will appear as a new playable character, alongside several other new characters, but not too many.

    • When it came down to the next numbered title, in thinking that it would be pointless to follow the same pattern, they figured that a new Dynasty Warriors would be most interesting if it used an open world.
    • All of China is reproduced. While the Chinese land is a vast one, there are a lot of mountains, so places where battles can take place are limited. For this reason, they’re creating places like Hulao Pass and Zhongyuan in detail.
    • Know-how is shared within the company. Because the nature of the open world is different from that of Toukiden 2, that technology cannot be used as it is, but that which can be appropriated will be utilized.
    • They want to change input methods such as Square button for a standard attack and Triangle button for a charge attack. The concept of “being a match for a thousand” will remain, so something like Musou Ranbu will remain.
    • They’re aiming to make Zhao Cang a comedic character. His weapon is the “Dai Satsu Katana.” It is large and offers dynamic actions. He is a character that combines both excitement and speed, and promises to be fun to use.

    I hope they stray away from the DW8 system, as far as weapons and the switching and blahblah is concerned. It wasn't terrible and it was LOADS better than DW7 but characters didn't feel totally unique

    It was a port over of 95% of the system from Warriors Orochi 3, which, surprisingly, had much better movesets. Sima...Zhao i think it is, was an absolute beast. I hope he keeps his moveset in the new game. Riding an enemy like a surfboard and musou being a gigantic fireball attack was way, way too fun.

    This. ANd yeah, that's why I didn't care for DW8. I try playing it, but WO3 just feels so much more fun.

    So, it's out. and it has HORRIBLE reviews. Even for a dynasty warriors game it's getting shat on. mostly negative on steam.

    Here's more from Jim Sterling who's a fanboy:

    Yeah I'm not enjoying it at all. I regret my purchase. Wish I had bought on steam so I could get a refund. They took a solid formula, tried to do something new and ruined it. I could go more in depth, but i would say avoid at all costs.
