Thousands of hapless Chinese imperial foot soliders died horrible deaths to bring you this Dynasty Warriors 8 trailer. But that’s OK, you’ll be too excited by the flashy attacks and shiny new visuals to care much about about their sacrifice.
Developer Omega Force is bringing back the wholesale slaughter the Dynasty Warriors is known for, making you feel like a feudal-era Rambo while taking on entire armies with devastating Musou abilities, however, they’ve also added a few new features to help give this long-running beat ’em up franchise some renewed luster such as special abilities that require commander affinity and a counterblow ability which forfeits a character’s weapon in exchange for a new implement of destruction. The game also features an all-new cooperative campaign so you and a friend can experience the carnage together.
Dynasty Warriors 8 will be available in Japan on February 28th. The North American release has not yet been announced.
