posted on by Jennifer Sherman
This week's issue of Kadokawa's Famitsu magazine is revealing on Thursday that Xin Xianying will be a playable character in Koei Tecmo Games' Dynasty Warriors 9 (Shin Sangoku Musou 8) game. Shino Shimoji will voice the character. The issue also revealed new costumes for Taishi Ci, Xu Huang, Pang Tong, Liu Shan, and Chen Gong.
The game will ship for PlayStation 4 in Japan on February 8, 2018. Koei Tecmo Games will offer the game in a standard package or download edition for 7,800 yen (about US$69), a treasure box edition for 14,800 yen (US$130), and an "Ikkitōsen Box" edition for 33,800 yen (US$297). A digital deluxe edition retails for 10,000 yen (US$95) and comes with a season pass and three DLC weapons.
The treasure box edition comes with a set of five character clear cards with a photo frame, a character designs collection book, an original soundtrack, and the game. The "Ikkitōsen Box" comes with the same extras, plus a set of five die-cast weapons, one for each of the five main characters.
In addition to the PS4 version, Koei Tecmo America will also offer the game on the Xbox One and PC in North America and Europe in early 2018.
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.
