The team at Tecmo Koei Europe have today confirmed an alteration to their release date of the tactical action title Dynasty Warriors 8. From its originally slated release date, the game will now be available at retail for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox360 from the 19th July 2013. Pre-order bonuses will remain the same – with different retailers having access to different goodies from smartphone pouches otherwise unavailable outside of Japan to different DLC costume design packs based on outfits from Dynasty Warriors 1 and Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII.
Featuring new characters, new modes, new and redesigned stages, and new scenarios Dynasty Warriors 8 follows the stories of the kingdoms of Wei, Wu, Shu and Jin through the actions of historical military and political figures of the time as they fight to gain control over the Three Kingdoms of China.
