Koei Tecmo promised some Dynasty Warriors news for Tokyo Game Show 2020 Online, and here it is: Dynasty Warriors 9 will be getting its own Empires title. It'll release on both PS5 and PS4 in "early 2021". You can watch the brief teaser trailer above.
For those unfamiliar with the Empires spin-off series, they add a strategic element to the hacking and slashing that Dynasty Warriors is known for. You conquer ancient China region by region, steadily building your forces along the way. They're usually good fun because of how dynamic they are.
Hopefully Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires is a cut above the immensely disappointing Dynasty Warriors 9.

Isn't Dynasty Warriors 9 the worst in the series?
More quality Jim Sterling content on the way then can't wait
I think they said that they'll be cutting out the open world aspect.
@Lindhardt Probably the worst one at the time of release but going back to DW5 or before now feels weird and basic. Also, I'd still rather play 9 than 1.

Though yeah, I wish they move onto 10 and put 9 behind them.
@Lindhardt Yes. It's very bad. It's borderline unfinished and glitched up the ass
The objectives also get extremely repetitive even for a Musou title and it's a drag to play
It's nice they are ditching the open world, but the other big problem was the combat.
Are they gonna go back to light and heavy attacks and personal unique weapons for all officers? Or is it gonna be the same one button spam thing with modifiers?
That is the big question for me. If the combat is the same, it's not even worth trying.
So, lets hope that when they say gameplay changes, that is what they mean, otherwise it's another skip.
From what I've read about this game, it's more avoid at all cost than command and conquer.
After playing Warrior Orochi 4 I realise a) how much I preferred the old style compared to 9 b) costumes were better in DW8(faces better in 9)
Hoping that they actually optimise for PS5 tho.
@Matroska I rather play nothing then Dynasty Warriors 9 sometimes its worth just skipping a entry. Or just buy Dynasty Warriors 8 XL Complete
better with more content.
I actually enjoyed the open world aspect of Dynasty Warriors 9. Looks like I'm the only one!
@Bentleyma- Your not the only one. It was refreshing for it to be open world. It was extremely repetitive in the previous games.
PS5 version is what Dynasty Warriors 9 needed. Game ran atrociously.
I'm happy about this but I wanted SW5 and still want it lol.
