Dynasty Warriors 9 PS4 PlayStation 4 1

It was written in the stars that Dynasty Warriors 9 would be announced during one of series veteran Robert Ramsey's student-esque sleeps. Thus, it's left upon this author's shoulders to hastily inform you that the ninth instalment in Koei Tecmo's swashbuckler has been revealed – and it's going open world.

No platforms have been announced at the time of typing, but Sony's Atsushi Morita introduced the title, so it's probably safe to assume that it's going to at least be on the PlayStation 4. Either way, the game's promising something of a "rebirth" for the series, with the aforementioned sandbox being one of the key alterations. All 83 characters (!!!) from the previous entry will appear.

We're sure that Ramsey will share more with you in due time, but this was a low-key reveal for now.
