Overview

Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires was released on May 11, 2009 in Japan, June 23 in North America and June 26 in Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Like all other Empires expansions, the basic premise is to become a leader whose goal is to conquer and maintain every region of China. However, the player can also become a Vagrant (unaligned wanderer) or a vassal serving a lord, in addition to becoming a ruler. The player can step down from a force at any time, betraying their liege, or defecting to another force. The player can also make oaths of friendship with fellow officers and marry other characters.

The level-up system for weapons similar to Dynasty Warriors 4 is introduced. The player can equip various skills and abilities to the weapons. The Renbu system also returns, although it is now merely an element determined by the character's weapons.

Meng Huo, who was cut from the original game, returns with new weapons as well as seven extra stages. The game also kept all character changes and new stages exclusive to Dynasty Warriors 6 (PS2/PSP Version).
