Interview with the producer of “Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires” “Dynasty WARRIORS 9: Empires” creates a brand new strategic experience with “arms” and “siege warfare”

The official also cooperated with ChinaJoy to release a 10-minute Chinese version of the real machine game video.

The battle in this work has evolved from a battle that considers how to advance from a position to defeat an enemy general, and evolved into a “siege war” for fighting for the city. The area around the city has become the main battlefield. The new elements of the battle include “combat secrets” that greatly influence the situation of the battle, the “nature of arms” that can experience a new tactical experience, and systems such as the “decisive battle mode” that occurs after breaking through the city gate. Through the new combat mode, players can enjoy more tactical combat fun.

“Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires”Interview with producer Ryoho Suzuki

GNN ：I would like to ask if the previous postponement is mainly for strengthening and upgrading those parts?

GNN ：This time Empires 8 is the first work in the Wushuang series to appear on the next-generation console. What kind of experience enhancements can you get on the next-generation console?

Suzuki:There is a theater mode that can experience native 4K picture quality, and an action mode with 60FPS. The reading speed is also faster than other hosts.

GNN ：The main axis of this game is siege warfare, so will the past field battlefields be included? Will the series of fixed team water battles also appear?

Suzuki:In this work, there is a battlefield that starts with a field battle before the city, and finally aims to conquer the city. There is no water war in this work.

GNN ：This time the generals have a feature set for “arms”, is this feature fixed or can it be set freely?

Suzuki:The arms of each military commander are fixed. However, in addition to freely changing the arms of the player’s generals, as long as we let our generals “come with” during the battle, they can temporarily lead our generals’ arms.

GNN ：(Continuing from the previous question) If it can be set freely, do the generals who are good at specific arms in historical facts have additional bonus features? Like Ma Chao’s cavalry, Huang Zhong’s archer, etc.?

Suzuki:Players can change the generals, but they will not have different effects depending on the generals.

GNN ：In addition to the relationship of mutual restraint and special ability bonuses, will the characteristics of the arms also bring corresponding restrictions? For example, cavalry can only use characteristics when riding horses, and archers can only use characteristics when shooting arrows?

Suzuki:Only archers can launch “volleys” when they are near the commander of the volley.

GNN ：In addition to the siege strategy between the forces, will it also include some side mission battlefields?

Suzuki:The battle of historical events includes the well-known “Battle of Guandu” and “Battle of Chibi” in history.

GNN ：What is the difference between the experience of playing a “monarch”, a “general” and “in the wild”?

Suzuki:The commands that can be implemented are different from the individual commands and generals that can be used in battle.

GNN ：Can the self-created generals appear in the game as NPC generals in addition to being the characters operated by the players themselves? Like the “Three Kingdoms” series?

Suzuki:OK.

GNN ：Can the profile of self-created generals be shared with other players?

Suzuki:Can be shared.

GNN ：Finally, would you like to say a few words to the Taiwanese players who are looking forward to the game’s launch?

Suzuki:After a long wait after the initial publication, the information released during the period is also very small. I am really very sorry. Finally, I have finally reached the section where the actual game can be disclosed, and then the game information will be introduced. Please wait for follow-up news and look forward to when the game is released.
