And so it begins. Ahead of the official information dump tomorrow, Famitsu has released a handful of Dynasty Warriors 9 in-game screenshots, giving us our first proper look at the open world sequel.

How do you think Dynasty Warriors 9 looks? Are you looking forward to this distinctly new entry in the long running series? Lead an army into the comments section below.
