Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends

Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends (真・三國無双6 猛将伝) is the updated expansion of Dynasty Warriors 7. It is scheduled to become available one month following the seventh installment's other updated PSP version, Dynasty Warriors 7: Special. So far, it is a PlayStation 3 exclusive addition.

A Premium Box edition has been announced, meaning that it will be packaged as a separate game and not purchasable as downloadable content.

Changes

 * If save data from the original game is present, players can use whoever they please in either Story Mode or Conquest Mode.
 * It's possible to play Story Mode with two players. This hasn't been confirmed if the game will have this option available at the start or only with a transfer of Dynasty Warriors 7 save data.
 * Characters can perform two new actions whilst they play: the ability to attack whilst moving (No Shadow Step) and an evasive action whilst on the ground (Turning).
 * Characters have changed their character growth by adding a new "General" ranking. As characters become stronger, they will learn specific abilities. An option to strengthen characters by reading strategy books found throughout the game is included. It's also possible to decorate characters with a set of accessories.
 * New weapons are in this game.
 * Ball and cudgel - two-in-one weapon. Characters use a stick to smack a ball into foes.
 * Podao - ancient long handled sword; looks somewhat like a naginata.
 * Two new modes have been added: Legend Mode and Challenge Mode.
 * Legend Mode - two sets of scenarios are in this mode: Hero Scenario and Legend Scenario. Hero Scenario lets players experience original stories for the new characters. Legend Scenario offers challenging versions of previous battles.
 * Challenge Mode - similar to previous titles. So far, "Comet" and "Tempest" rules are revealed but not described in detail. A total of four people can play within this mode and an online ranking system will be available.
