Koei Tecmo recently revealed Liu Bei in Dynasty Warriors 9, who is one of many returning officers. However, one thing that many fans noticed is that the character is sporting a goatee again, which resulted in many of them asking the developer about the change.
The game’s producer, Akihiro Suzuki, took to Twitter to share an image of the character without the goatee. He said that “In Dynasty Warriors 9, Liu Bei is actually also available without a goatee. In the game, he automatically changes depending on the progress of the story. The same goes for Xiahou Dun’s eye patch.”
Dynasty Warriors 9 is set to make some big improvements over previous games in the series. “For the first time in the series, the expansive land of China is shown on a single map with the introduction of an open world format for diverse progression through the game. The ‘one vs. thousands’ exhilarating action of the Warriors series and the beloved characters from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms tale are carried over, but the freedom through an open world stage provides a brand new Warriors experience.”
“The map is displayed with beautiful graphics and features many different regions of China such as snow plains, jungles and deserts which reflect the passage of time and changing climate. Key cities and checkpoints, such as Luoyang and Hulao Gate, and landmarks such as the Yellow River and Mt. Song, are replicated, allowing for deeper immersion into the game world.”
Dynasty Warriors 9 is currently only confirmed for a release in Japan on PlayStation 4. It’s likely that the game will eventually come to other regions, but following a delay of several months after the Japanese one.
