Dynasty Warriors 9

Dynasty Warriors 9 is an open-world action game set in the Three Kingdoms era of China. You play as one of its officers, fighting large groups of enemies while carrying out missions that shape the story and the changing situation across the map.

Explore the Three Kingdoms

For the first time in the series, China appears on a single map, with regions including snow plains, jungles and deserts. The landscape reflects the passage of time and changing climate. Cities and checkpoints such as Luoyang and Hulao Gate, along with landmarks such as the Yellow River and Mt. Song, are represented across the map.

Key Missions advance the story of your chosen character. Regular Missions in different regions can affect these main objectives, while other characters make requests. Your choices determine how the situation develops. Battles offer several approaches, including a direct attack, a surprise assault from high ground or an infiltration at night.

Fight with the State Combo System

The State Combo System builds on the series’ action system and responds to surrounding conditions. Flow Attacks vary according to an enemy’s state, Reactive Attacks adapt to the situation, and Trigger Attacks change an enemy’s state.

Interactive Actions let you use the terrain and environment. You can climb mountains, swim across rivers, use grappling hooks to scale walls and fire arrows into oil barrels to cause explosions.

Officers and story

The Three Kingdoms story unfolds through a roster of 90 playable characters. Seven officers debut in the game: Cao Xiu, Man Chong, Xun You, Cheng Pu, Xu Sheng, Zhou Cang and Xin Xianying. All 83 officers from the Dynasty Warriors series return with new costumes.
