It’s been a while since the most recent installment in the core Dynasty Warriors series came out, and developer Koei Tecmo has been relatively quiet regarding a potential Dynasty Warriors 9. Koei Tecmo’s planning to announce something this year for the core series, but in the meantime, publisher Nexon Korea has just announced that there’s a mobile Dynasty Warriors game in the works.
The working title of the game is Project Dynasty Warriors, and it’s in development at XPEC Entertainment. In a press release, the publisher explained that the title is based on Dynasty Warriors 8 and will feature similar hack-n-slash gameplay.
