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 sweeping new narrative of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 is portrayed across the
game’s Critical Missions and Regular Missions which intertwine to allow
players to experience history across a multitude of perspectives and battles
throughout the whole of China. 83 characters from the DYNASTY WARRIORS series
make their return in addition to new faces such as Cheng Pu, a long-term
retainer who supported three generations of the Sun family and contributed to
the expansion and stability of the Wu kingdom.
