News: Koei creates another Dynasty Warriors title.

Koei has announced that the first game in the Dynasty Warriors series created soley for next-gneration consoles, Dynasty Warriors 6, is coming to America on February 19, 2008. Once again developed by Omega Force, Dynasty Warriors 6 will be available on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

УDynasty Warriors 6 will deliver the massive scale battles that gamers have come to expect from the series, and will push the envelope of Tactical Action. Our goal is to redefine the Dynasty Warriors series,Ф said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President at Koei. УWe've created more immersive environments where players can use the features of the battlefield to their advantage, larger armies with a presence and strategy befitting their superior numbers, and re-imagined characters with the most authentic kung-fu showcased in a way only Koei can deliver. This is truly the next great chapter in the Dynasty Warriors saga.Ф

Here's what Dnasty Warriors fans can expect from this latest sequel, straight from Koei:

Set in Ancient China during the 3rd century, Dynasty Warriors 6 immerses gamers in a truly cinematic kung-fu action experience. Celebrated characters have been completely re-imagined with new weapons and fighting techniques motion-captured from some of today's leading stuntmen and women in Asia. With the game's new УRenbuФ attack system and game controls, players can execute lightning-fast combos and the most dazzling fighting moves with ease.

Developed from the ground up exclusively for next-generation platforms, the game's proprietary engine delivers the most chaotic and challenging Tactical Action experience to date. Players can use the landscape to elude the thousands of soldiers swarming the battlefield. But as players move and attack, adaptable enemy A.I. devises offensive and defensive combat tactics, and can retaliate with packs of fierce hunting dogs and patrol boats. All of the explosive action comes to life in high definition, 60 frames per second graphics.

Based on the epic novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors 6 depicts the massive battles ignited by the fall of the Han Dynasty when three rebellious states moved to overthrow the Emperor of China.

We'll have more soon.
