When Koei Tecmo said that they were going to have something called the "Greatest Games Lineup in History Livestream" on the December 17 many hoped and expected to see news from the Dynasty Warriors series. They got their wish granted.
The game is a numbered entry, which means that it'll be called Dynasty Warriors 9 here in the west. It definitely seems like Omega Force wants to bring something new to the series, as they revealed that they've changed some of the game mechanics dramatically, including making it open world. Koei Tecmo's Masaki Furusawa and Akihiro Suzuki also told Famitsu that the character roster will include all 83 characters that has appeared up until Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires. We also got a short teaser, but that didn't reveal anything else.
What improvements do you want to see in Dynasty Warriors 9?
