Set in Ancient China during the third century, Dynasty Warriors 6 engrosses gamers in a genuinely cinematic kung-fu action experience. Famed characters have been entirely re-imagined with brand-new weapons and fighting techniques motion-captured from some of today’s leading stuntmen and women in Asia. With the game’s new "Renbu" attack system and game controls, players can carry out lightning-fast combos and the most dazzling fighting moves with ease.

Prepared from the ground up entirely for next-generation platforms, the game’s proprietary engine delivers the most chaotic and ambitious Tactical Action experience up to now. Players can use the landscape to evade the thousands of soldiers swarming the battlefield. But whilst players move and attack, flexible enemy A.I. formulates offensive and defensive combat manoeuvres, and can strike back with packs of ferocious hunting dogs and patrol boats. All of the explosive action comes to life in high definition, 60 frames per second (fps) graphics.

Based on the epic novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors 6 portrays the large battles ignited by the decline of the Han Dynasty when three rebellious states moved to bring down the Emperor of China.
