Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, the long-running franchise's first next-gen game, now has a free demo available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, as well as the PS4 and Xbox One. The demo will let players get experience with the game's new castle siege gameplay, as well as a feature that lets players customize their officers prior to battle.
The demo will give access to what Koei Tecmo calls a «challenging tutorial,» which will let players navigate both offensive and defensive scenarios in the new castle siege gameplay. The two types of gameplay featured in the demo are Invasion Battles, which task players with capturing enemy castles, and Defensive Battles, where they must defend against an invading force.
