Official Dynasty Warriors 9 news is coming our way on the 11th May, but as predicted, the usual Japanese gaming publications - namely Famitsu - have leaked the goods before the designated date.

News Dynasty Warriors 9 Chops Down an Entire Open World
Button basher adopts sandbox
It was written in the stars that Dynasty Warriors 9 would be announced during one of series veteran Robert Ramsey's student-esque sleeps. Thus, it's left upon this author's shoulders to hastily inform you that the ninth instalment in Koei Tecmo's swashbuckler has been revealed – and it's going open world. No platforms...
News Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers Brings Tactical Battlefields to PS4, Vita Next Year
Seek and ye shall find
Formerly known by its Japanese name, Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden, Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers will be bringing its particular brand of strategy to PlayStation 4 and Vita in the West. As mentioned, Godseekers is essentially a tactics title that features all of the characters from the hack and slash series. In terms of story,...
E3 2016 No, Dynasty Warriors Won't Be Showing Up at E3
The wait continues
Gosh darn it. Over the past few months, Koei Tecmo has been dropping hints that a big Dynasty Warriors announcement is incoming at some point this year - with most fans speculating that Dynasty Warriors 9 is in the works. However, we're yet to hear anything concrete on the matter. E3 2016, then, seems like a fitting stage for a...
News Dynasty Warriors 9 Announcement will 'Have a Greater Impact than You Can Imagine'
Omega Force boss hypes up sequel
Dynasty Warriors 9 is happening - we've known that for a while now - but publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force have both been suspiciously quiet on the subject. As regular readers and fans will know, a new Warriors game is seemingly announced every other week, but the Japanese companies are certainly taking...
News First Screenshots of Dynasty Warriors' PS4 Strategy RPG March into View
Tactical advantage
Revealed earlier this week, Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden is developer Omega Force's first jab at crafting a strategy role-playing game. We remarked that a trailer wouldn't be far off, and while we sadly haven't got our hands on any gameplay, Famitsu's posted a bunch of screenshots that give us our first look at the release...
News The Next Dynasty Warriors Game Is a Bit Like Fire Emblem on PS4, PS3, Vita
Wait, this isn't Dynasty Warriors 9
Apparently in development since last year, Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden has been revealed overnight. Not quite Dynasty Warriors 9, Eiketsuden is Omega Force's first stab at a strategy role-playing game, where units move on a grid and you follow a plot that features fantasy elements. Dynasty Warriors poster boy...
News This Isn't the Dynasty Warriors Announcement You Were Expecting
Movie adaptation incoming
We almost unleashed our musou attack when we heard that there was some big Dynasty Warriors news, but it's sadly not the announcement that we were expecting. Indeed, there's no sign of Dynasty Warriors 9 just yet, although we'd argue this still makes for a pretty interesting reveal. Koei Tecmo has announced that it'll be...
News Dynasty Warriors 9 Will Probably Be Announced This Year
Here we go again
Dynasty Warriors 8, the last main Dynasty Warriors title, released back in 2013, but even though its core has been expanded upon with the likes of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Compete Edition on PlayStation 4 and Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, we honestly thought that we'd see an official reveal for the inevitable Dynasty...
News This Is How Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Looks Running on PS Vita
Lands in your hands
There are a plethora of Warriors titles already available on the Vita, with just about every recent musou release being ported to the portable system at one point or another - and Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, which launched earlier this year on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, is adding its forces to the Vita's library next...
News Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Is Invading the PS Vita Later This Year
Better late than never
Koei Tecmo has announced that strategic slash-'em-up Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires will be marching onto the Vita before the end of the year. We quite liked the PlayStation 4 edition of the game, so we've got high hopes for its handheld counterpart, especially since its structured pace should suit portable play reasonably well...
News Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Will Conquer Vita Along with All of Its DLC
At least in Japan
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires launched earlier this year in the West on PlayStation 4. The hack and slasher adds a hint of strategy and plenty of role-playing to Omega Force's typical formula, but it was perhaps a surprise that the release never made it to Vita - particularly in Japan, and especially since Koei Tecmo seems to hold no...

Interview We Talk Tactics with the Producer of Dynasty Warriors
Cultural differences, future crossovers, and the Western fanbase
Dynasty Warriors is one of those franchises that has an incredibly loyal Western fanbase, but will likely never replicate the success it enjoys in its native Japan overseas. As such, it's not often that we hear from the people behind the long running hack-and-slash series, but we've...
News Dynasty Warriors Will Be Dabbling with a Free-to-Play Model Next Month
Penny for your thoughts
We admittedly didn't see this coming, but when we stop to think about it, we suppose it kind of makes sense. Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, which we recently reviewed, features an absolute ton of customisation elements, from character creation options, to scenario building tools -- and it looks like publisher Koei Tecmo is...
Review Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires (PlayStation 4)
Empires of the Sun
Trying to describe Dynasty Warriors' spin-off Empires series is a difficult proposition, even to someone who's familiar with the franchise's main instalments. At their core, the games are the same, in that gameplay still involves hacking and slashing your way through entire armies in a bid to conquer China, but it's everything...

With Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends out now in North America and almost here in Europe, we have to ask: which faction will you be siding with?

Review Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition (PlayStation 4)
Generation X-treme
"What's the deal with Dynasty Warriors?" is a question that's echoed every now and then across the gaming sphere.

Review Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition (PlayStation Vita)
Han-held
Sporting a name that's almost as ridiculous as its core gameplay, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition consists of both Dynasty Warriors 8, which released on the PlayStation 3 last summer, and the Xtreme Legends expansion, which can also be purchased separately as a standalone title on Sony's ageing console. The latter...

News Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition Has a Silly Name
Oh, and it's releasing on the PS4 and Vita next year in Europe
Video games have historically had trouble in the naming department. Beyond: Two Souls and Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark are two particularly egregious examples from the past twelve months. But far and away the absolute worst name of recent memory has to go to Dynasty Warriors 8:...
