Koei Tecmo began streaming a trailer for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game Shin Sangoku Musou 7: Empires (Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires) on its official YouTube channel on Thursday. The trailer features gameplay with the new playable character Xun Yu (played by Takashi Oohara) and the updated custom character creation system. It is also the first trailer to preview Sima Yi's new voice.
Ryōtarō Okiayu is replacing the late Tsuyoshi Takishita as Wei and Jin officer Sima Yi in the game. Takishita passed away last year at age 37 due to injuries he suffered from slipping and falling on his way home.
Koei Tecmo announced on Tuesday that the game would be delayed from October 23 to November 20. The game is an update to Dynasty Warriors 8 and Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends (Shin Sangoku Musou 7: Mōshō-Den). This year marks the 15th year of the Sangoku Musou game franchise.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends shipped in North America and Europe for PS3, PS4, and PlayStation Vita in March and Dynasty Warriors 8 shipped last year. Koei Tecmo also released Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends and Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires in North America.
