If you are anticipating Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires, I can utilise my tremendous psychic powers to ferret out little clues to your personality. For example, the spirits tell me that you have quite toned fingers, a liking for flamboyant characters and action, and a very high tolerance for repetition, Clearly, KOEI have an equally talented medium in their camp, because for your delectation, they have forwarded one hundred and eleven new screenshots in one enormous delivery. Why they suddenly felt the need after months of near silence, even my clairvoyance cannot fathom.



Lots and lots of new screens! Wheeeeee!
Although it will retail as a full, stand-alone title, Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires is the first of two expected "expansions" to over-the-top battlefield sim Dynasty Warriors 6, the latest in KOEI's button-mashing series based on The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. With an emphasis on the strategic expansion of single territory to full conquest of Three Kingdoms Era China, the Empires expansion allows for the creation of custom characters, as minutely catalogued in the flood of new screenshots, the rest of which can be seen on the mirror.

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires is due for release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on the 25th of June; fans will be pleased to note the return of certain characters' unique movesets.
