Unlike Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires, the game won’t be open-world. Specialize in the sovereign, shogun, private, non-government, or some other Way of Life to create a kingdom of your choosing. The player’s officer can act how he pleases, whether as a kind ruler or a villainous warrior. The aim is to build a nation by forging relationships with nearby officers and heroes of the Three Kingdoms. Players will be able to deploy units across the map to capture strategic points through destruction and infiltration where they can then take control of castles. Just a taste of what’s to come as we get closer to finishing the game.ĭynasty Warriors 9 Empires will send players on a mission to conquer ancient China through the frenetic 1 v 1000 action for which the franchise is known, as well as strategic elements like unit command.
