Dynasty Warriors 9 Game's Launch Trailer Streamed

Koei Tecmo Games America began streaming the launch trailer for the Dynasty Warriors 9 (Shin Sangoku Musou 8) game on Monday. The game launched in the West for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Tuesday.

The game shipped for PS4 in Japan on February 8.

Koei Tecmo America describes the game:

In Dynasty Warriors 9, players will explore China as it existed when feudal warlords vied for dominance over the land – the waning days of the Han dynasty and emergence of the Three Kingdoms era. Setting out to complete various objectives, players will utilize an unprecedented world map to navigate and traverse a variety of different landscapes ranging from vast plains to snow-covered peaks presented with dynamic day/night and weather cycles. Exploring these impressive environments is made more engaging through the ability to adapt to surroundings to gain an upper hand in battle, with players able to use equipment to circumvent obstacles or blend in to avoid conflict.

The open-world game will have Critical Missions and Regular Missions. The game will also feature new attacks, new characters, and other "innovations." New actions include shooting enemies from a distance and using grappling hooks to enter enemy castles. B'z performs the theme song "King Of The Street."
