Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers (真・三國無双 英傑伝, Shin Sangoku Musou Eiketsuden) is a spin-off Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires game with Zhao Yun as the main protagonist. Similar to the Eiketsuden series, the player takes part in a Romance of the Three Kingdoms-heavy fantasy narrative and are expected to scout for their army. Its Japanese release commemorates the fifteenth anniversary of the series, and its release date matches the day of the first "Shin" title's debut.

Akihiro Suzuki is general producer and Atsushi Miyauchi is director and producer. Its production is Omega Force's desire to tell a compelling romantic story for the series under a new genre. A demo will be made available on July 7.

Buy the game new to receive a Diaochan costume for Lixia. The Treasure Box edition includes a fifteenth anniversary art book, an original soundtrack CD, eight long posters, and a downloadable serial for Lixia's yukata costume. Purchase the game from Gamecity Shopping to receive a character cleaner cloth. Other bonuses are being offered at various store outlets.

Gameplay

The game combines elements from the Eiketsuden series and Fengshen Yanyi 2. Players can shop, adjust character parameters, and visit marked locations for story-related content or free battles. They can recruit party members, learn EX attacks, and be relegated into different unit types. Battles are turn-based, with unit positioning and weapon range determining attack effectiveness.

Successful hits build the party's "Resonance Gauge," allowing players to enhance attack power of ally units. The group's finishing blow is a quick time event, allowing quick defeats. Gem Power can be used for optional objectives, and past costumes can be unlocked by finishing story mode or saving data.

Downlodable content so far includes costumes and weapons.

Characters

Since Zhao Yun is the game's focal character, Shu will be the center of attention.

The playable cast introduced into the series so far will be returning with the following exceptions: Cai Wenji, Wang Yi, Pang De, Ding Feng, Yueying, Xingcai, Liu Shan, Guan Suo, Bao Sanniang, Deng Ai, Zhuge Dan, Zhong Hui, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai, Jia Chong, Wen Yang, Zhang Chunhua, Zhang Jiao, Meng Huo, Zhurong, and Zuo Ci.
