Dynasty Warriors Online is an action-oriented tactical combat game, focusing on frenetic fighting and deadly showdowns against giant hordes on sprawling battlefields. Player-created characters interact with historical generals and warriors from China’s famous “Three Kingdoms” period. Choosing from a wide variety of weapons, players defend their allegiances to warring factions and battle online to determine who will conquer Ancient China.

“If destroying armies and players alike with awesome weapons while rocking out to guitar riffs sounds fun, then Dynasty Warriors Online is your new favorite game,” said Brian DeSanti, Associate Producer, Aeria Games. “We’re looking forward to seeing everyone playing Dynasty Warriors Online, but as we move into Closed Beta Testing, only limited spots are available.”

Dynasty Warriors Online offers players in North America and Europe the classic Dynasty Warriors gameplay experience, in a fast-paced massively multiplayer online (MMO) environment. As with all of Aeria Games’ titles, Dynasty Warriors Online will be free to play.

To sign up for closed beta, players must have a free Aeria Games account, then visit the official Dynasty Warriors Online website to submit to the beta. Players will be notified by email and then allowed to download the game client, which will then start on on Oct. 14, 2010.
