It’s been the best part of four years since Dynasty Warriors 9 released on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, but that does mean it’s well about time for things to expand. With Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, that’s exactly what is happening.
Available right now to purchase and download on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires takes what we know and love about the series – the 1 vs 1000 battle – and drops in some tactical and strategic war play for good measure.
Priced at £54.99 for the Standard Edition, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is the latest of the ‘Empires’ titles to arrive on the scene, taking the base of the original Dynasty Warriors 9 and building upon it. There’s the Deluxe Edition too, costing £89.99, with it adding in Deluxe Edition items in the form of six Gems / ten Custom Ancient Officers / three Additional Campaign Scenarios and the Season Pass (something which is going to set you back £32.99 on its own). That Season Pass will then deliver up DLC periodically until APR 2022 – Custom Parts Set (14 pieces) / 5 Additional Palaces and four Additional Military Units.
What this means is that you’re getting the chance to head on out and conquer ancient China, working new features such as the evolved castle sieges and playing through multiple scenarios until you have proven yourself as a general on the field. With the opportunity to invade others and defend yourself from all attacks, KOEI TECMO and Omega Force are playing to the fans, giving them exactly what they want, when they want it.
That comes to the fore with the edit mode that is present in Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires. It’s here where players will be able to create their very own officers, taking them into battle as they see fit. With the best part of 800 Officers present from Dynasty Warriors 9, creating your very own Dynasty Warriors experience should be a cinch.
The key features in summary include:
Our full review of Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires on Xbox Series X|S is coming very soon so keep an eye out for it, but until that time, be sure that you can grab the download you need of the game from the usual stores. The Xbox Store is our favourite as it’s more than happy to work the line for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players, but this is also available on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Don’t forget to pick up the free content on offer too – there is the Female Custom Lu Lingqi Set, the Female Custom Xin Xianying Set, Male Custom Guo Jia Set and Male Custom Lu Xun Set all available for no asking price.
