My hope is that they do something cool like giving you freedom to go around an open world and conquer the land in any order you want. I get that this would hurt story but I would like to see it tried at least once

That already exists (well apart from the open world part). It's basically the whole point of the Empires versions

Now imagine Empires with open world... We might even get that after the main game is finished!

I'm excited for this. :)

I love me some Dynasty warriors.



Cheng Pu! Day 1!

Didn't buy DW8 series due to no Cheng Pu.



Shooting down enemies from a distance??? 1metre draw distances gone confirmed!

I see you've been playing some split-screen.

It seems it will come out this year for Japan, which seems like a good timeframe. Holiday release would be nice.

Does it? At 40% through development I thought that seemed unlikely.

Omega Force is a workhorse though, and they have been at it for awhile.

2015:

Arslan

SW4-2

SW4 Empires

DQH

DW8 empires ports.

Bladestorm port

2016:

DQH2

AoT

Toukiden 2

DW Godseekers

Berserk

SW Spirt of Sanada

Hyrule Warriors 3DS

2017:?

Musou all stars

Fire Emblem

DW9

 

So less games but DW9 is big. Source suggests winter JP.

Anyone any idea what kind of sales we can expect for this on ps4 in Japan?

That's true, though most of those are rehashes, ports or recycling of assets and slapping on a new load of paint. Dynasty Warriors 9 is on a new Engine and being built from the ground up. I just hope it's not a rush job like Dynasty Warriors 6. They need to back themselves and give this title everything.
