Back in the early 2000s Koei Tecmo experimented with a couple of Dynasty Tactics games and it seems that they are going to be revisiting that a little bit as this week’s issue of Famitsu has revealed that Koei Tecmo and Omega Force are working on a new game called Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden, a strategy RPG that will be released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita in Japan sometime this year.
Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden will feature Zhao Yun as the protagonist and players will need to move their units around on a grid as the game will play as a simulation RPG with players only controlling one military commander unit at a time. When encountering enemies on the map the game will revert to the standard Warriors battle scenes though it is currently unknown if players will have control during these action scenes.
At the moment it is confirmed that obviously Zhao Yun will be making an appearance, Lei Bin (Zhao Yun’s childhood friend), and a new mystery girl who is found sealed in a shrine named Li Xia will be in the game as well as a number of other big name commanders from the Three Kingdoms games such as Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and more.
