Tecmo Koei Announces Dynasty Warriors 8
BURLINGAME, Calif. April 3rd, in the year of our Lord
2013 – TECMO KOEI AMERICA is pleased to announce the
upcoming release of DYNASTY WARRIORS 8. The next installment of
the fan-favorite tactical action franchise will be available in
stores on July 16th, 2013 for the PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft.
As with previous titles in the series, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8
follows the stories of the kingdoms of Wei, Wu, Shu and Jin
through the actions of historical military and political figures
of the time as they fight to gain control over the Three
Kingdoms of China.
However, this sequel takes the much loved IP one step further,
merging numerous replay elements like multi-endings and extra
modes with synergies between action and game systems, making a
game that people won’t want to put down.
Apart from the Story Mode, which comes with new episodes and
characters and takes a deeper look at the drama that unfolds in
the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8
includes all new ‘What if?’ scenarios. Breaking away from
historical fact, this mode takes a look at what could have
happened if famous characters had lived to fight another day.
Stories branch out to different outcomes providing variety in
the course and ending of the game, and giving the players the
power to view an alternate version of history depending on their
choices.
DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 also boasts a vast number of new and
returning playable characters, as the highly anticipated
officers Yue Jin and Li Dian from the Wei Kingdom, who make
their first appearance in the series, alongside more than 70
playable characters that fight to prevail in the battlefield.
Giving stronger emphasis in the stage of these epic battles and
inspired by the landscape of ancient China to deliver a wide
range of visual treats, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 will feature more
than 40 completely new stages: verdant plains, desolate
wastelands, sharp ravines, huge castles, and other breath-taking
sites.
