Publisher Tecmo KOEI has today confirmed that Australians players eager for the next chapter of Dynasty Warriors 7 will be pleased to know that the next chapter will be arriving in February 2013.

Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires is set to take the focus away from the historical figures that roamed the battlefields of the Three Kingdoms of China, ‘Empires’ emphasises on a different kind of hero: the player.

ombining thrilling battlefield action with strategic gameplay, ‘Empires’ gives each player the opportunity to influence the way history unfolds: gain fame in battle and rule their own nation as a ‘Ruler’, use strategy to seize power and invade neighbouring territories as a ‘Strategist’ or become a mercenary and sell their services around the land as a ‘Free Officer’. Through actions such as earning fame on the battlefield, protecting the people or looking to expand their own personal wealth and power, the choices made during the strategy and battle phases have an impact on the character’s position and allow for an even wider variety of personalised play styles.

This high-degree of choice is accompanied by a newly revamped Edit Mode, including weapon animation, personality, facial features and more, so that players can create their own unique characters and throw them into battle

Tecmo KOEI has also revealed several new screenshots for the action-packed title, which you can check out below or at our game page.

Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires will be available on February 21st 2013 exclusively for PlayStation 3.
