  • If players possess a high rank, they can order other generals.
  • Rulers can set specific priorities to policies.

  • The marriage system now permits couples to have children, with expanded scenes dedicated to married couples, and offspring inheriting their parents' stats and genes.
  • Players can keep and reuse their previous edit characters since the same edit features return in this title. They can also edit the appearance of their banner, soldiers, horses, and create scenarios to upload for online sessions. Other players can download them.
    • Soldiers - Customizable features include body posture and appearance.
    • Horses - Customizable features include hair color and size.
  • Crossplay can be done between the PS3 and PS4 ports.

  • The Nintendo Switch port has save data benefits with select Warriors Switch titles.

Spin-Offs[]

A Twitter campaign to guess the new character addition was held June 5~16. Three accurate fans won a free copy of the game.

The game will be showcased live at Koei-Tecmo's Tokyo Game Show stage on September 20. Fans can participate in an edit character contest during October and early November, where they must create their interpretation of a character from history or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Five winners will receive a complete guide and Dynasty Warriors 8 badges.

A collaboration campaign with Shin Sangoku Musou Blast was held from November 27th to December 3rd. The following characters from Blast appeared in Empires as edit officers: Xu Sheng, Xiahouji, Yan Yan, Zhugeshi, and Zoushi.

The Shin Sangoku Musou 7 Duet Songs expansion features five character image duets, voice actor commentary, and character messages. Purchases of the CD can redeem a ticket to the 2015 voice actor event. Deluxe Edition customers receive an event photo book and three character stickers. Halloween-themed character merchandise is available for purchase at Tokyo Game Show 2015. LINE stickers featuring the cast are divided into three sets.

Trivia[]

  • Like its predecessor, the overseas version only features Japanese voice tracks with subtitles despite it having been formerly announced that English voice acting would be included.
  • Due to Tsuyoshi Takishita being passed away, Sima Yi would be voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu in the game.
  • Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires was the first Empires spin-off title to be released in PC port.
