The largest Dynasty Warriors cast ever assembled. Six new Dynasty Warriors in all for a total
roster of 48 playable characters, each with their own storyline and in-game events.

attacks. New Musou Rage, character-specific jump attacks, and blazing 9-hit Evolution Combos open

Twice as many characters per screen than Dynasty Warriors 4 to create the most satisfying Musou
attacks ever.

New more intelligent bodyguard officers designed to help players face the greatest Tactical Action
challenges to date.

An enhanced battlefield base system that challenges players’ strategic decision-making in the
midst of combat.

38 completely redesigned maps, each 30% larger and with environments that have their own look and
feel.

environments, and eliminates any drop in frame rate.

New Chaos difficulty level.
