Another installment has been announced for Koei Tecmo's "Dynasty Warriors" franchise called "Dynasty Warriors Godseekers", and it's going to have a fantasy spin to it.
According to IGN, the "Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers" is set withing in the Chinese historical period of the Three Kingdoms. During this time, which took place between the Han and Jin dynasty, there are three states that make up the kingdom of China, which are Wei, Shu, and Wu.
"Godseekers" takes inspirations from the "Dynasty Tactics" series and players get to experience this game in a whole new setting in this saga, other than the fantasy flavor Koei Tecmo has already put in this game.
Characters from the previous "Dynasty Warriors" titles will make their reappearance in this latest title, while two new characters join the scene. The first is Lixia, a lady wielding the power of magic who was encased in an icy shrine for centuries. The next is Lei Bin, a lore master who is the best friend of Zhao Yun, one of the protagonists from the earlier titles.
