Dynasty Warriors 7

Dynasty Warriors 7 (真・三國無双6) is the upcoming installment of the Dynasty Warriors series and a PlayStation 3 exclusive title. The decision was made in ode to the series' 10 year anniversary and history with the Sony consoles. Everything has been stated to be revamped, from characters, stories, and weapon system. The theme for this title is to present a "seamless, cinematic one-versus-thousand" game.

Gameplay

 * In the spirit of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, characters can equip two weapons. Weapons can be changed at any time (in and out of battle) and each comes with their own traits. If the player switches between the two weapons quickly enough, they may trigger a special attack called "Variable Action". The attacks depend on the weapon combinations and are free for several player experiments. Additionally, each character is affiliated with a particular weapon type. When equipped with their weapon of choice, they will perform an extra attack unique to them.
 * The Musou Guage can be built up to two stocks. The Renbu system remains and has two separate bars for each weapon.
 * A new mode called Chronicle Mode is introduced. Within this mode, players can earn the ultimate weapons in the game and unlock various playable characters. Specific stories and stages are set to be made exclusive to this mode.
 * Cutscenes and events no longer take loading time, and the transition strives to be as close to real-time as possible. It is possible to keep playing during special scenes that were previously pre-rendered movies.
 * The game's visuals will be rendered for a 3D viewing experience, allowing players to be furthered absorbed in the Three Kingdoms setting.
