Dynasty Warriors 20th Anniversary project teased for 2020

Dynasty Warriors will be celebrating its 20th anniversary, with an official website launched by Koei Tecmo. The Musou action game series is also teased to have a new project in 2020! Via Gematsu, there is a message from Dynasty Warriors series producer Akihiro Suzuki which mentions the following:

“On this 20th anniversary year, we have begun various 20th anniversary projects, and are preparing to be able to announce new, game-related information.”

The website also has a timeline of past games within the series, beginning from August 2000 with Shin Sangoku Musou in Japan or Dynasty Warriors 2 in the west. The slightly odd numbering is due to the first Dynasty Warriors game in the west was not a Shin Sangoku Musou game.

For the year 2020, the website simply states “New Project”. Considering how many games have made their own free-to-play titles with gacha elements, one wonders if that could be one of the possible new projects we can see for the year. As it were, Persona 5 Scramble would be one of the latest spin-offs of the genre, so it might be high time for a true Dynasty Warriors title for the console after 9 received mixed reviews, to give some much needed life back to the series for it’s 20th anniversary.
