Dynasty Warriors series

All I want is another Dynasty Warriors Gundam, gosh darnit!

And with an Original Mode that actually has a cohesive narrative!

Thanks Ixbran, great coverage as always!
Info very neatly set as well!

Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much, like I'm super excited for this game. Like, I love Warriors games so much, there so therapeutic and calming for me. Like nothing helps me de-stress after a bad day than coming home, popping in a Warriors game, setting the difficulty to easy and then just mowing down the many enemies in front of me. seriously the rage i may have had pror, or even the depression i may have had before, instantly gone. It's one of the reasons why I never undrerstood why the series gets so much hate from so many people, both gamers and game reviewers.Its one of the reasons I'm posting this info about DW9 here, im hoping to catch peoples attention with it and maybe they might consider getting it. I really want this franchise to be appreciated by more people ya know?

Like normally I'm not a fan of open world games, most of the time the ones i've seen are all post-apocalyptic, which I dont find appealing at all. I'm not a fan of games whos color pallet consists of browns, greys, and other grungy colors. Breath of The wild was the first open world game I ever played as well as genuinely enjoyed, so the fact that DW9 is going to be open world as well? after playing BotW I cant help but be estatic for this game. And OH MY GOD is this game so fucking pretty!


This game looks so  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✨🌟💖 PRETTY

Though I do agree with you, a Switch version WOULD be amazing. I finally have a reason to finally get a PS4. I was going to get one for KHIII, but I kept putting it off since there aren't any PS4 games out 'now' I want sans Warriors All-stars, and even then I want games more than that. But yeah this makes me want a PS4 soooo much <3

That's always been the appeal of the Dynasty Warriors game, if you ask me. 

Also, now that I think about it, isn't the Switch going to get a Nobunaga's Ambition in Japan? (That makes me a tad ANGRIER because I do like the series but I'm well aware there's zero chance that gets a western release)

That might explain why Dynasty Warrios is coming for the PS4.

the way I see it I'd rather someone play a video game to vent frustration and release anger is far healthier a release than actually hurting people. For me video games are fun, as well as a means of venting my anger in a way thats not violent to the people around me. Some people read to de-stress, some people draw, others take up sports, I play video games.

But yeah I own DW8 on PS3, the digital version, as well as a physical copy of DW8XL, and I recently got DW8E. I've been a huge fan of the series since DW3. As for returning charactwers I cant wait to see, I personally can not wait to see what they did with Liu Shan, Zhang He, Daqiao, Zhang Chunhua, and Meng Huo. In terms of newcomers, I wanna see Cao Zhi. The youngest brother of Cao Pi, the two of them, and their father Cao Cao, were known as The Three Cao's. Hes also known for being one of chinas greatest poets. I hope they draw upon his Dynasty Warriors Blast design if they decide to include him.


I think it would be cool if they gave him Cai Wenji's old Erhu moveset, from DW: Strikeforce 2 (x, x). I've always been a huge fan of the artistic styled characters, so adding another music based fighter is something I'd love to see. Not to mention the Erhu would fit his status as one of China's greatest poets, the second best poet in the countries entire history. As someone who knows little about figures from chinas history or mythology, I'm usually happy with whom ever they chose for the DW games. But if I had to add anyone specifically, it'd be Cao Zhi. Aside from him, I'd maybe want Huaman, the daughter of Meng Huo and Zhurong, to be included.


Of all the people in the DW series, I've always been fond of the tribal aspect of the Nanman Clan. Meng Huo is a cuddly giant teddy bear, and Zhurong is a fierce, yet loving amazonian warrior. I love how the DW series has them be fierce almost barbaric fighters, yet still constantly doting on one another. Constantly referring to one another as 'My Dear' and 'Beloved', not to mention the fact the whole clans aspect of their allies and friends being referred too as Family. Yeah the second you become allies with the Nanman clan you isntantly become family to them, and I'd love to see that family dynamic expanded by including the daughter of said clans' leaders.

Warriors Orochi (Musou Orochi) is better. It is a crossover between Samurai Warrior and Dynasty Warrior series, merging heroes and legendary places/battles from both universes, plus adding the occasional mythological figure!

A bit old, but Musou Orochi Z is the real deal! Although, it is fully in Japanese. This and Castlevania Symphony of the Night for Sega Saturn, are the only fully-Japanese games that i ever beat through and through, all the way from start to finish... Unlocking everything, too!

I feel like I should be worried about 'strategist bloat' with the Wei kingdom at this point. They now have Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and now Man Chong. That's 4 strategists. Maybe even 5 if you count Sima Yi, though he's technically a Jin character these days.

But then again, in DW8 Koei did a good job at letting the various strategists of Wei share screentime and make strategies alongside each other. Perhaps my concern shall prove to be groundless.

Regardless, really liking Man Chong's design (seems to be drawing quite a bit from his Blast design), as well as Sun Shangxiang. Lu Xun... eh, never liked him, but his design seems fairly good. Looking at his 9 design in relation to Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun's designs, and I see a clear attempt to callback to the character designs of older DW games.

Can't comment on Lu Bu, because I feel that the cellphone picture isn't giving us a good look at him in particular. I'll wait for a full scan before I talk about him at length.

we got some more pics. no scans, the games official site just simply updated with this new info:
