Dynasty Warriors Sun Shang Xiang
The official Koei UK website did a video interview with the creator of Dynasty Warriors 6, producer Takashi Morinaka from Koei’s internal development team Omega Force. The next game in the series, the Dynasty Warriors 7 hint, is quoted below. But another sequel won’t come as a surprise to long-time fans of the Hack-and-Slash series.

Question: Are you satisfied with how Dynasty Warriors 6 turned out?
Answer: “I believe that we as developers have only begun to scratch the surface of what can be done with this new generation of consoles. Dynasty Warriors 6 has advanced in many areas and is the best we can do at this time. Still, fans [of the main Dynasty Warriors series] can look forward to even better games in the future.”

Here’s the interview with him answering questions about Dynasty Warriors 6 and at the end hinting at Dynasty Warriors 7.

What would you like to see in Dynasty Warriors 7?

Update September 16, 2010: Dynasty Warriors 7 was officially announced at the Tokyo Game Show 2010 today.

    An online co-op mode would be quite epic ;)

    Other than that, I’d like all the former characters to be re-added and for everyone to have a musou mode again. (was really disappointed that I couldn’t do musou mode on some of my favorite characters, like zhou tai and ma chao)

    & I like a lot of the other comments that have been posted as well; I think Nickk really hit the spot on this one.

    I wpuld like for the Qiao sisters to be in this one, along with the other girls like xing cai. It would be nice to see diffrent weapons from some of them along with diffrent attacks. Also bring the mousu(SP) modes back for every character not just a few of them. THe dueling would be nice to have back as well. I like the way the mousu mode is set up in DW-5 how they tell thair own story. It would be so cool to ethier see the old characters back like himiko and nu wa or some completly new ones!

    plz bring lu bu’s original weapon back PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that going away from the hack and slash would be best for the game. I love the games and think that the best move for them would be to go into a more detailed story of the game with just one dynasty per game. Sort of like pokemon red blue and yellow. Each story has a different line anyways so why not do it. It would spice up the game alot more.i think it would be best if the battles were done sort of like assasins creed. Not too many enemies but intense battles. Not only would it make the battles alot more visually appealing but also more strategic to play. Maybe during the battles by executing certain button configurations the character unleashes a special move. Example. Down, front, attack, executes a thrusting spear attack with zhao yun down back attack, unleashes an over the head spear swirl attack. Just so that its not just mash, mash, mash, mash, mash, i kill 100 people.make the battles mean something not just hit a person 3 times and he’s dead. I make it feel like an accomplishment when you defeat a zhang liao or a xahou dun. Though they can be challenging at times, but make it where they have certain weaknesses and certain required special attacks that can be acquired in the story mode that allows you to break through their defences. Instead of having 12 different levels i think the entire china should be your battle field. Think of Zelda. The land of hyrule is the entire battle field. Of course you would have your towns where you can go and acquire items to heal yourself during battle and even buy armor and new weapons. Again like assasins creed. You can move from town to town on horse back and in DW empires 6 you can buy horses or heck even steal them during battles and keep them for yourself. Also another think i would love to see is an on horse duel. For example the bridge battle in Zelda twilight princess where link fights the warrior in a jousting battle. Just for DW6 they would have to go back and forth about 4 times until one falls off. Locking on and shooting arrows and even doing special attacks from the horse from locking on to an enemy would bring alot more to the game. Last but not least. Many people maynot agree with me in this one, but i think that DW should start the beginning of these stories that i spoke about with a costomized character. Like champions of norath. Where you choose your characters face, hair color, hair style, and allocate attack points and defence points, etc. You start off as a regular villager whose village gets attacked by the yellow turban and you ask to join (if in the green version) the shu army, of course in the actual story liu bei didnt get his force after hu lao gate.but for the game. It can follow the same DW story. So you start off as a regular troop and from their your level increases as the more you prove yourself by accomplishing certain missions. Like in DW6 empires. So the higher level you become the more well known you are in town and more likely you’ll be able to purchase better horses and better weapons etc. Of corse many side missions can be done as well. Example: you pass by a market in a town thats currently being controled under liu bei and you speak to a merchant that says someone stole his money you can always accept this mission and chase down the thief to return the merchants money back or you can decline the side mission. Side missions can open options for special accessories only achieved through doing these missions and well as obtaining the ability to buy the ultimate weapon when 90% of the side missions are done. Or maybe you find it in a treasure chest in one of the last side missions.
    Hope you guys like my ideas. And hope KOEI is listening.

    Woops. Made a couple mistakes. I meant to say liu bei doesnt get an army until after hu lao gate also meant to say in the next DW games not in DW6 they should do these things. I also wanted to meantion that i think these a complete make over to the game would benefit KOEI and Omega Force alot more. Keeping good old fans and bringing new ones.the graphics can also be touched up a little bit, now thats the graphic designer part of me talking. Peace.

    lol dynasty imperial wut u saying is almost like dynasty warriors 5 extreme legend u could buy health and do like theif missions also,in dw5 xl u could create an officer and shoose which officer u like to follo like example, u could follo ma chao or zhao yun,any other characters and den ur plan could change like in the middle another officer would tell u if u want to follo him, mostly if u start with shu side, and u accept to follo the officer that gave u the choice, u’ll end up goin to wu or wei force. another familiar game dat came out not too long ago is dynasty warriors strike force which ur in a village and u could buy items,increase ur weapon abilities, and buy other weapons cuz u could have a secondary weapon example. u could buy a small sword for ur secondary and also buy any officer u want in ur side. its not like the original dws u dont have troops followin u, only ur officers and the maps r real small. well dats all i know for dat game i only played it in demo lol.

  • bec

    i think that the new dynasty warriors (7) should have more stuff like in the Dynasty warriors extreem legends (5) , the versus mode and the story mode, empire mode, challenge mode, and the free mode. The characters should have like a bit more new attackes like diao chan and Zhen ji should have different attackes and differnt weapons aswell. And plz dont change the weapon of Sun Shang Xiang or the moves plz !!(from the 6th game) The story mode should maybe continue on if you can find their histories obviosly.And it would be nice if you included all of the characters for there story mode:)

  • bec

    But other than that u guys have done great! Keep up with the good work!:)hope Koei is reading!!

  • DWfan

    i think it would be best if they brought back the ability to get bodyguards,each character should be able to shoot arrows (flaming if possible), and more character choices in the story mode then in dw6
