Shin Sangoku Musou Multi Raid 2

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce 2 (真・三國無双 MULTI RAID 2, Shin Sangoku Musou Multi Raid 2) is the newly announced sequel to Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. Teaser quests for the game have been available on the official website since January 21st.

With the power to resurrect old heroes and gods at his command, he desires to create an eternal empire for himself. The heroes of the Three Kingdoms band together to stop him.

Gameplay

 * Over 200 customizable parts are available for characters. They can slightly alter their appearance with these items equipped. Having cleared save data from the previous title grants four masks for characters. They are cartoon versions of the animals used to represent Wei, Wu, and Shu, as well as an extra panda mask.
 * Characters can now "awaken" their weapons with a new technique called "Weapon Overdrive". It surrounds their weapons with a glittering effect and enables new abilities to be used against enemies.
 * Each character has three new abilities. They are:
 * Support Skill - allows players to sacrifice their awakening gauge to heal another player's life by pressing and holding the button for a select target.
 * Joint Party Ability - Grants a unique effect for party members in the area, which is unique to each character. It is used automatically when players form groups. These abilities boost various stats of the party, such as strength, defense, speed, etc.
 * Card - a slightly different version than the system used in Special, certain generals can use a card to affect the field's effects. These cards may also require the presence of certain non-playable characters in order to use. Ideally, these cards can be used to the player's merit.
 * Players now have the ability to make up their original quests to boost their own characters and to share with others by talking to the "Informant" in towns. Players can customize the options and objectives of their missions, helping to train other generals they or other players may be using. Original quests can be exchanged between other players and can be set to not always require the player's attention. Completing original quests from other players (or having the player's quests completed from other users) awards "Community Points", which can be used to acquire rare items.
 * Slight adjustments have been made to the lock-on system and camera.
 * Save data from the previous title can carry over into the player's data for this title. Items may change in the sequel and players can keep their former avatar names.
