Dynasty Warriors 8 Release Dates Announced

On April 3, 2013, it was confirmed by Tecmo Koei that there will be an overseas release for both North America and Europe in July 2013. It will be released on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for both physical and digital release. The option of English and Japanese voice overs also return, where there is also an option to change the subtitles to English, French or German.

Having more than 77 characters featured in the game, the game is reusing the same system and engine of Dynasty Warriors 7 and instead focused on adding more content for re-playability as well as several tweaking in the combat system.

Dynasty Warriors 8 (真・三國無双7 Shin Sangoku Musō 7?, known in Japan as Shin Sangoku Musou 7) is a Beat 'em up video game and the eighth official installment of the Dynasty Warriors series. It is developed by Omega Force and published by Koei. The story is based on the Chinese writer Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Is it still too early to be disappointed that this is not a next Gen game? Not that I'm unhappy or anything but I would really like to see this series on a new hardware.

Spoiler:

Needs bigger swords.
