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.

    I may be suggesting to much but maybe also offering the a paper back copy of the book ( not the expensive types people sell for $20+ in some stores) with the game so gamers who dont know about the story would get a understanding of whats going on. also gives them something to do while there not playing :) DW RULE (also loved the DW Gundam games as well :)

    I would like it if in part 7 you can go against or join in their armys as reinforcements with other people online oh and be able to choose wether you want to join 1st players side or fight against him/her…

    I have to say that I was really disappointed in dw6. It seemed like the makers had just rushed everything. There are no unique weapons left and alot of characters even have the same weapons. Zhen Ji should get her Flute back, Sun Ce should get his tonfa’s back. You know what just give all the characters that had Unique weapons there old weapons back. Also some characters in the game don’t even have a story mode. I feel that a part of dynasty warriors had died… I was so happy that they made some more warriors Orochi games so we could still play with the cut out characters. Zhu rong was my favorite and they have a meng huo in part 6 xl, so where is Zhu rong ?! Same goes for Da qiao, why have xiao qiao without her sister. Dw6 has really disappointed me… and I have played every part of dw starting at the age of 9. Im 16 now.

    i agree with charissa i feel that the series lost itself after part 5 ive bin playing from 10 to 17 played and owned the all i got a PS3 JUST to play DW it felt like someone had spat in my face and bent me over the table with DW6 but im glad to see the amazing upgrade system in DW6 and the return of the god of DW ling tong … once again however he has new weapon like most of the characters. ive just bought the game i hope it lives up to its parts before 6

    DW7 should be more detailed in creator mode……my son and I love to create and edit our own warrior…..and also can u make it to where we can play with our created warriors together in co-op or story mode. And like in DW6 empires……after u conquer one empire…..go to another empire that is designed different……and when you choose a color for your empire or unit…..that all your officers and soldiers have to wear the same color as you…..their leader! And maybe music can be uploaded to the game so you can listen to your own battle music…….kool…..just some ideas…..thanx on behalf of my son and I!

    Hey what about the female with ORIGINAL weapons, instead of crappy ones, like a bow!?!?!?

    How about bringing Nu Wa back from DW3!?!?!?
    How about Jaing Wei…the most prolific player to me!?!?!?
    Hell, why not bring ALL the characters back…total of over 50+ players, and all with Musou story modes!?!?!

    This is the game I would spend my money on!!!!

    Disagree or not, I think dynasty warriors 6 was brill, more features? well, either bringing back your bodyguards from DW1 or having your own amount of troops when you start and always follow you would be good. most have been suggested above are good, with the customisaions and that.

    loved the idea of whistling to keep the horse and the duels from the computer:)

    Keep special horses for special characters, e..g Red Hare for Lu Bu.
    also, bring Zuo Ci back, with the cards, he was amazing, a good storyline for him, most hardest of all I think it should be:)

  • Now that we’re veterans…

    Hi :) What do you think about Bodyguards again? With comands like: followme- atac, hold position… Like DW3 with comands…
    When you’re playing Dinasty, all characters you use are officers, so, it means that you have more than 50 soldiers doing everyting, but not under your orders.

    2) This will be very dificult XD…
    We are veterans in Dynasty Warriors. We are veterans in Samurai warriors… we know how win and how lose, and we need…changes.

    This is not a joke: That idea will not be part of the history XD
    >>Dynasty Warriors Vs Samurai Warriors.<< Japan Vs China. “With two ends. China Victorious or Japan. It could be amazing! Thanks for read

    Honestly people are probably gonna get mad at me but imo Dynasty Warriors 6 was an amazing game and is probably to date one of the best I have ever played. Not only that, but it had the BEST soundtrack out of them all but that’s just imo. The ONLY gripe I had with it is the fact that there were such little stories and low diversity of weapons. Both aspects are a big part which makes the games so addicting and fun. I think many fans were pleased when Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires came out with new weapons for people. This is what the fans want. They dont want to play Guan Ping and it feels like they just played Xu Huang yesterday. The fact that you could create warriors like Xu Rong , Da Qiao and other fantasy characters to your choosing, along with be able to choose most soundtracks from past games is what really made Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires shine. The idea of swimming I felt was great. Maybe you should work on expanding that a little?

    I liked how in Dynasty Warriors 6 and Empires, traveling was very easy. In some stages I could dash and jump off a mountain or in some cases climb up one. Specials in the game were a great addition. The very first time I played Chaos I just got my butt handed to because it was a whole different game. I had to be nearly perfect with my dodging and not allow a crowd of people to get too close to me. But the fact that it was so hard I think is what made me finally enjoy the series. I don’t think half of the people who even play the game bother to try that difficulty. You want a game were you just throw yourself into the battlefield against hundreds of other men. But yet you ONLY want to play on easy and complain that its to easy? Of course its easy…your not even challenging yourself and your skills…

    Imo overall Dynasty Warriors 6 and Empires were both a great success and I think you guys are getting a lot better with your games. The game is getting more realistic by each sequel and this time around the game is pretty hard. Again as I agree with many others, try and think about character diversity. As much as Dynasty Warriors has a lot of focus on combat, a lot of fans actually do enjoy the story. Keep rockin the nice soundtracks. The music is another thing that makes the game so appealing. That is something you shouldn’t change. You should bring back stories for everyone^^. Most of all keep up the good work. Can’t wait till DW7!

    P.S. PLEASE IF YOU RECONSIDER IN SOMEWAY, BRING WARRIORS OROCHI Z TO THE US AND EVERYWHERE ELSE THAT DIDN’T GET IT. A LOT OF FANS WERE DELIGHTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE REMAKE AND TREMENDOUSLY LET DOWN ABOUT IT BEING CANCELED =/

    I think the whole game of dynasty warriors 6 series was a DISSAPOINTMNET!!! I didnt like the way Zhanf Fei (my favorite character) voice was. the weapons were horrible i agree with some of the people that they did rush it. what i think they should do is change the environment make the ground look like rubble when their fighting buildings getting destroyed during the war, forests being destroyed, something like that.
