Tecmo Koei this morning revealed yet another new Dynasty Warriors title… we’re up to 8 in the numbered series if you’ve lost count.

Dynasty Warriors 8 is scheduled for a PS3 and Xbox 360 release, and should slice and dice onto both consoles on July 16th.

Apparently this new installment will build upon the solid Dynasty Warriors gameplay but will attempt to provide more reasons to replay it over and over thanks to multiple endings, extra modes and game systems.

Check out the first batch of screens and read on for the official announcement.

Dynasty Warriors 8 screens:

TECMO KOEI AMERICA is pleased to announce the upcoming release of DYNASTY WARRIORS 8. The next installment of the fan-favorite tactical action franchise will be available in stores on July 16th, 2013 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

As with previous titles in the series, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 follows the stories of the kingdoms of Wei, Wu, Shu and Jin through the actions of historical military and political figures of the time as they fight to gain control over the Three Kingdoms of China.

However, this sequel takes the much loved IP one step further, merging numerous replay elements like multi-endings and extra modes with synergies between action and game systems, making a game that people won?t want to put down.

Apart from the Story Mode, which comes with new episodes and characters and takes a deeper look at the drama that unfolds in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 includes all new ?What if?? scenarios. Breaking away from historical fact, this mode takes a look at what could have happened if famous characters had lived to fight another day. Stories branch out to different outcomes providing variety in the course and ending of the game, and giving the players the power to view an alternate version of history depending on their choices.

DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 also boasts a vast number of new and returning playable characters, as the highly anticipated officers Yue Jin and Li Dian from the Wei Kingdom, who make their first appearance in the series, alongside more than 70 playable characters that fight to prevail in the battlefield.

Giving stronger emphasis in the stage of these epic battles and inspired by the landscape of ancient China to deliver a wide range of visual treats, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 will feature more than 40 completely new stages: verdant plains, desolate wastelands, sharp ravines, huge castles, and other breath-taking sites.
