Featuring a wide selection of beloved characters from the Dynasty Warriors universe, Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers will add two new characters to the series’ ever-growing roster: Lixia, a girl with magical powers that was sealed in an icy shrine for centuries, and Lei Bin, Zhao Yun’s childhood friend and avid lore master!

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers unfolds during the chaotic end days of the Han dynasty, when ancient China was overwhelmed by uprisings and internal strife within its imperial court. The story follows renowned warrior Zhao Yun and his close friend Lei Bin, who unwittingly liberate a young girl, Lixia, from a mystical prison. The two friends and the mysterious Lixia then find themselves entangled in a pivotal struggle for the salvation of the world, wherein they must navigate the maelstrom that is Three Kingdoms era China, meet countless great warriors and take part in historic battles. In their efforts to unravel the mystery behind Lixia’s imprisonment, Zhao Yun and Lei Bin uncover a hidden, terrible fate, forcing them to make difficult decisions in a battle that will echo throughout history.

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers utilizes a tactical gameplay system wherein players strategically move their units across a battlefield to defeat opposing forces. Actions take place on a grid, with units moving a select set of spaces before carrying out offensive or defensive maneuvers. Cunningly attacking from the sides and rear of an enemy will deal significant amounts of damage, allowing units to be eliminated more efficiently. Defeating enemies successfully will enable Synchro Mode, which allows the user to unleash powerful attacks that can decimate an opposing force.

A useful companion in battle, Lixia has strong powers once sealed away into orbs. Lixia’s Orbs are unique objects that can lend an upper hand against tougher opponents. Whether the player chooses to envelop the battlefield in flames or flood enemy strongholds, these elemental changes will break through defenses and reduce infantry numbers! Players will unlock and obtain a variety of Orbs through the story, each offering its own unique abilities.

Outside of combat, players can further immerse themselves in the fascinating Three Kingdoms period through conversations with other officers. Path of Destiny episodes are unlocked during encounters on the front lines, and provide access to unique battles, new companions, monetary bonuses and useful items.

A selection of impressive costumes is available to those who purchase Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers within the game’s first month of sale, allowing players to further personalize their gameplay experience. Lixia can switch her standard costume for the “Diaochan” costume, while Guan Yinping and Lu Lingqi will receive special costumes sporting fox ears and tails.
