Plus SPECIAL PRE-ORDER BONUSES
FOR DYNASTY WARRIORS 8
Sydney, May 17th 2013- Tecmo Koei Europe announced today three new characters that will don the light blue colours of the Jin Kingdom in the upcoming 8th instalment of fan favourite Dynasty Warriors series, slated for release on the 12th of July 2013 on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
The new additions to the Jin Kingdom are Zhang Chunhua, Wen Yang and Jia Chong.
A cultured, well-educated and wise woman and mother to two fierce warriors, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, Zhang Chunhua is known for always facing life with a smile as well as for her fierce personality.
Wen Yang is a tall, young warrior, very calm and exceedingly brave, who takes up arms to assist his father. He charges into battle head on and refuses to get side-tracked, a trait that can be both helpful (as he ignores tricks and traps) and dangerous.
The final addition to Jin is the cold, calculative strategist, Jia Chong; a fearless man of great political skill, dedicated to abolish the old order and establish a man of ability to the emperor’s throne.
Additionally, Tecmo Koei Europe revealed special bonuses fans can receive by pre-ordering Dynasty Warriors 8 from Aussie retailers.
By pre-ordering at either EB Games or JB Hi-fi, fans will receive a beautiful, limited edition smartphone pouch, otherwise unavailable outside Japan, in one of four exclusive designs. Each design features a different character and colour, representing the four kingdoms.
On top of that customers will also receive an exciting exclusive free DLC pack, featuring Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu’s outfits from Dynasty Warriors 1, plus outfits for Zhao Yun and Sun Shangxiang from Romance of the Three Kingdoms 12.
As with previous titles of 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.
This title emphasises in the stages where the epic battles of the Three Kingdoms era take place and, inspired by the landscape of ancient China, it delivers a wide range of visual treats, featuring more than 40 completely new stages (verdant plains, desolate wastelands, sharp ravines, huge castles, and other breath-taking sites).
