It's been quite a while since we wrote specifically about Dynasty Warriors, and that's mainly because the series is still reeling from the immense disappointment that was and still is Dynasty Warriors 9. It's been just over two years since that game's release, and publisher Koei Tecmo has opened up a new website for the franchise's 20th anniversary.
Said site teases new Dynasty Warriors projects that we'll hear much more about in 2020. A message from producer Akihiro Suzuki reads: "On this 20th anniversary year, we have begun various 20th anniversary projects, and are preparing to be able to announce new, game-related information." (Thanks Gematsu for the translation.)
It's currently unclear what these 20th anniversary projects could be, but we're going to go ahead and assume that the company will be eager to move on from Dynasty Warriors 9. Honestly, at this point we're just hoping that Koei Tecmo goes back to the series' roots and acts like the latest instalment never even existed.

I dont know if im up for it i have seen all the historic battles 50 times already. Maybe make some stories where you can change the outcome. And please bring back the special weapons. And without ā¬200 of DLC because im sick of the Japanese developers forcing it down our throats in combination with stripping out the base characters in fighting games. SF 5 championship edition is a nice one how to devalue your physical game by given you a vanilla SF5 with some nice vouchers making the resale value zero.
so that's "projects" as in plural
so that's more than one game then
awesome
@FullbringIchigo One will probably be a AR mobile game where we take photos of the guys in the game in the food court in the mall. š
We haven't had a new DragonBall game in almost a month, might be time for Saiyan mosuo..
If they do a new straight up DW game I'm thinking PS5 and we can fight a zillion cannon fodder bad guys at once all with photo realistic historically accurate giant crabs. š
@rjejr i know your joking but in all honesty a Dragon Ball Mosuo game would be awesome
@FullbringIchigo Flying combat? No thanks
@seari84 Dragon Ball as in the original show when Goku was a kid not Dragon Ball Z, they couldn't fly in Dragon Ball so there wouldn't be flying combat
@FullbringIchigo Iām sure I remember him on a little yellow cloud with an extendable pole.
@Ryall yeah that's how he got around but he very rarely fought while riding it
he did use the pole though but that would work in a Musuo game fine
@Bagshot Kind of. The main Dynasty Warriors series has been silent since Dynasty Warriors 9 came out and got absolutely panned.
@FullbringIchigo "they couldn't fly in Dragon Ball so there wouldn't be flying combat"
Though you could fly in DBZ Sagas to get around but I think the fighting was all on ground. I haven't played the new Kakarot game yet but I think it's similar.
I'd be ok w/ a Dragonball game though that was all ground based, then they could always add in the other flying fighters later as DLC but since the game was already established people would be used to just fighting like that. Personally I've been off flying since Superman 64.
Anyway, sure there are lots of other licensees that could do w/ a mousu game.
Idk I bought DW 8 for cheap cuz I haven't played this game since a demo back in the ps2 days. Sad thing is that it still looks and plays like a ps2 game. Just couldn't get into it
I grabbed dynasty warriors 9 when they patched in the local coop and I had a really great time. I even bought the first season pass to play around with the extra missions. I cannot stress enough that a dynasty warrior game is specifically made to screw around in with a friend. We'd split the maps and nail all the mini-missions and crap.
@rjejr Kakarot fights are similar to the Budokai Tenkaichi games if i was going to compare it to anything
as for other licences, Bleach would be a good one, Naruto as well and Dissidia Final Fantasy could make a awesome Musuo game
oh and maybe Marvel or DC too
they usually release samey samey games as far as I can tell and the last game was absolutely slated for removing key characters and weapons that were base content in previous games, atrocious, I'm currently just finishing off Nobunagas Ambition, vastly different from warriors games but very much loving it.
@FullbringIchigo I thought about DC. Marvel already has UA3, and that Avengers game, which while not a mosuo game, has similarities. I don't play DCUO but their fighting games are very 2 dimensional.
Don't know too much about Bleach or Naruto - they're after my time - but from what I do know Naruto would work. Has there been a One Piece mosuo? I only own World Red. Last anime I really watched was Rurouni Kenshin back when Cartoon Network was still calling it Samurai X. Come to think of it Toonami was also probably how I started watching DBZ. So anything shonen should work.
Shout out to the little guy.
@rjejr "Has there been a One Piece Musuo"
there have been 3 with a 4th coming next month
@FullbringIchigo So that's a yes then.
Now I think I may have played one of them. My kid was into musou for awhile, but never the main series DW games, just the offshoots, need to go look over the collection.
So my son just woke up - 10AM - and said no. Might look into getting 3 on the cheap. Thanks.
@rjejr 10am, it's quarter past 3 in the UK right now
@FullbringIchigo I have a strict rule they get woken up by noon so 3 wouldn't' happen. I couldn't remember where you were so figured it best to put in the time rather than think my kids were sleeping to 5 or 6.
@FullbringIchigo OP:PW3 just went on sale on Switch for$11.99 so despite a new one coming out next mo th I'm taking this as a sign to pick this old one up.
Unless you tell me it sucks, then I won't. Reviews seemed good though, I read them this morning.
@rjejr yeah pick it up, it's a good game that covers pretty much all of the anime up to the point it was released
@FullbringIchigo Thanks for the feedback. I have 1030 gold coins, might be time to just spend them all and stop worrying about the monthly expiration dates I have coming up. I've been waiting for Nintendo to start offering %50 off for 100 gold coin sales but I'm starting to think that's never going to happen. Or at least not until they've all expired. š
My son said he'd play it with me so might as well.
I Love playing Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orichi games ever since i played them from XBox360 to PS4. I'm really hoping a Dynasty Warriors 10.
@Flaming_Kaiser
Ok I will let them know you want microtransaction and lootboxes. Hows that? Still complaining about DLC. Dude.....the Dynasty Warriors 9 game is on sale for like 60 bucks and that includes 3 season passes. That is a ridiculously good deal and even on its original price its 80 bucks at worse. Maybe do not buy the dlc till later then. Also most of the dlc is cosmetic items so what are you complaining about? Its optional.
@halo44327 After cutting the classic weapons and putting them after a paywall its still a rippoff.
And ā¬60 for the most terrible Dynasty Warriors is still terrible even with the 3 seasonpasses.
You can say what you want but the Japanese are the new kings of payed DLC deal with insane amounts seasonpasses and stripped content.
And the optional nonsense is a joke a few years ago i could unlock some stuff not anymore because of the optional DLC amd mictransactions. š
@halo44327 Wait they made a even bigger scam now tickets too change your hair color $1 for every change you dont unlock the colors its $1 every time you change your hair color. šššš¤£š¤£š¤£
@ShogunRok Maybe you couls tell about the new Dead or Alive 6 update $1 for changing your hair color. You dont unlock colors you pay $1 per ticket every time you change you change it.
@Flaming_Kaiser This sounds horrendous. I'll look into it!
@ShogunRok I saw it on the Jimquisition he maybe weird but i love his stuff.
@Flaming_Kaiser I love history discussion but Dynasty Warriors is not an good historical source... That being said I freaking love Dynasty Warriors cause I get to feel like a god on the battle field! show me any game that gives me that kind of power!... Plus I have been waiting on the Guan Ping & Xingcai love story since Dynasty Warriors 5! The best love stories are the ones when one are both is destined to die!..
@DustynB1 Its insane thats why i love it but man they can put in way more effort then what we get now. The monetization is so bad now though and quality of 9 was a insult. But what did i think we would get when this publisher asks money to change your hair color in a fighter... š
I'm ready for them to be back to basics... I need them to implement the fighting game portion of the original Dynasty Warriors like the OG one from the 90s. But I will most likely get DW10
