Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series has become famous for its hack-and-slash gameplay that lets any individual take on thousands of soldiers at once in bombastic action set pieces, a formula that has crossed over with other properties like One Piece, The Legend of Zelda, and Gundam. With many hyped for the recently-announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, it seems as perfect a time as ever for the developer to release its series’ soundtracks to the public.
Much of the 20-year-old series’ OST is characterized by rock anthems meant to fit the large-scale battles that take place throughout each game, which is sure to please a particular audience. The Dynasty Warriors press release also reminds fans that the series will have a presence at Tokyo Game Show 2020 Online, which runs between September 24 and 27.
While Dynasty Warriors has been a long-standing franchise for Koei Tecmo, it seemed to gain a new level of worldwide appeal thanks to crossover titles with Nintendo properties. Hyrule Warriors will soon have a successor that acts as a prequel to Breath of the Wild, and Koei Tecmo staff had a hand in creating Fire Emblem: Three Houses while working on Fire Emblem Warriors.
