Hooray! The Koei Tecmo Games have finally announced the Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires (真・三国無双８：エンパイアーズ Shin Sangoku Musō 8: Enpaiāzu) for the 20th anniversary of the series and it was planned to be released in early 2021 for Playstation®5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Playstation®4, Xbox One and PC!

In Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires, it will features the series classic massive battles along with Siege Battles that let you act as commander and deploy units in strategic locations. A new edit function allows you to customize your officers, and there is an expanded domestic system that lets you govern as you see fit: even if that means being pure evil. As characters' relationships with each other change, it will affect gameplay.

According to the series' producer; Akihiro Suzuki-san (鈴木亮浩さん), it said the next-gen game will feature improved visuals and a more stable framerate compared to the other versions, along with "crowded chaotic gameplay." He also said the SSD on both systems will let the game load much faster, much like we've seen in demonstrations from both Microsoft and Sony already.

Though Dynasty Warriors 9 featured a more open-world structure than the series had seen to date, its open-world structure will be omitted from the Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires. Because the outcomes of battles determine whether your territory expands, it's using the Empire sub-series' structure. Your ultimate goal is to unify all of ancient China, so you would not have access to the entire region right out of the gate.
