It's been over four years since Dynasty Warriors 8 was initially released, so fans have no doubt been chomping at the bit to get their hands on the latest entry into the classic hack n' slash series.

Well, Koei Tecmo Europe announced at TGS that the ninth main entry will be releasing in "early 2018" for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC, presumably meaning within the Q1 period.

Though the series has been rightly taken to task for failing to adequately innovate over the years, DW9 looks set to change things up substantially by going the ever-popular open-world route for the first time in the franchise's history.

It'll also be interesting to see if the game ends up with a Nintendo Switch port a few months after its original release, given that Dynasty Warriors 8 is releasing on Nintendo's platform on November 9th.
