Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires

Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires (真・三國無双8 Empires, Shin Sangoku Musou 8: Empires) is the Empires adaptation of Dynasty Warriors 9.

Gameplay
One of the most drastic differences between this and the base game of Dynasty Warriors 9, is the fact that the empires expansion abandons the open world format in favour of a more smaller stage-like approach similar to previous iterations of Dynasty Warriors. It is likely that the open world will have many assets segmented and repurposed into a more traditional stage format.

Suzuki elaborates that the focus is on castle sieges, with mechanics added in updates of Dynasty Warriors 9, likely to play a pivotal role in deciding the battles.

The create-a-character system has now been further enhanced to Nioh 2 levels with extra options from that game's system.

The domestic system will be expanded even further. Character relationships are said to change more frequently and have even greater effects on the gameplay than before.

Some of the existing features from prior Empires games are also slated to return. For example, the Ways of Life determine whether your character is a good ruler or an evil tyrant.

Many different Positions will also be available, where you can start as a wandering Free Officer, a loyal Marshal, or the leading Ruler.
