Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers brings tactical warfare to PS4, Vita early next year.

Koei Tecmo America today confirmed that the upcoming release of Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers, the new tactics-style game set in the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history will release digitally on the PlayStation 4 and Vita handheld entertainment system on January 31, 2017.

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers will feature fan-favorite characters from the Dynasty Warriors games, along with two new characters to the series’ ever-growing roster: Lixia, a girl with magical powers that was sealed in an icy shrine for centuries, and Lei Bin, Zhao Yun’s childhood friend and avid lore master.

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers’ story is set during the end days of the Han dynasty, when ancient China was overwhelmed by uprisings and internal strife within its imperial court. The campaign follows Zhao Yun and his close friend Lei Bin, who unwittingly liberate a young girl, Lixia, from a mystical prison. The two friends and the mysterious Lixia then find themselves entangled in a struggle to save the entire world. To do so, the team will explore Three Kingdoms era China, join forces with great warriors and take part in historic battles. In their efforts to unravel the mystery behind Lixia’s imprisonment, Zhao Yun and Lei Bin uncover a hidden, terrible fate, forcing them to make difficult decisions in a battle that will echo throughout history.

The publisher released a pair of trailers showcasing what you can expect from the game when it releases next January. Check them out below:

Personally, I’m happy to see the Warriors series finally branch out with an SRPG spin-off title. Hopefully the full game is able to scratch the itch of the most jaded strategy RPG fans when it releases on January 31, 2017.
