Season Pass holders can download this pack now for free, or you can buy the pack individually for £6.49/‎€7.99/$7.99 on the Playstation Store, Xbox Store or Steam.

Check the list attached below for more details on exactly what the DLC pack has to offer:

Hideaway Customisation Pack

    • -Jianning-Style Hideaway – An exterior model that captures the essence of Jianning.
    -Camp-Style Hideaway – An exterior model that captures the essence of a battlefield camp.
    -Palace-Style Hideaway – An exterior model that captures the essence of a gorgeous palace.
    -On-the-Water Hideaway – An exterior model of a Hideaway built on the water.
    -High-Rise-Style Hideaway – An exterior model of a high-rise Hideaway that is tall like a tower.

  • Added Furniture Models

    • -New Functional Table and Chairs – A table with chairs on which you can sit and meet with visiting officers.
    -Candlestick – A light fixture that can be placed on a table.
    -Blacksmith’s Shelf – Allows you to craft gems and accessories at a Hideaway.
    -Cook’s Shelf – Allows you to cook new dishes at a Hideaway.
    -Fish Preserve – Allows you to regularly obtain fish-type materials.
    -Flowerpot – Allows you to regularly obtain plant-type materials.
    -Peach Tree – A peach tree from which petals flutter down is placed outside your Hideaway.

    -Stable – A place where you can keep a horse. Horses kept at a stable will develop with time.
    -Prayer Bench – For a short time, the weather will be changed arbitrarily.

    Naturally, Japan also received a bit of an extra bonus DLC along with all of this, being an exclusive new outfit for Da Qiao based on Ai-chan, the popular mascot of SIE Taiwan. Initially it was exclusive to the Taiwan release only, but now Japanese players can download this costume for free if they hold the Season Pass. For us Westerners, it is unlikely to see this happen, or perhaps it’ll come out far later as a Paid option.

    The next DLC Pack; the Additional Weapons pack is scheduled to release sometime in May.

    As you are all surely aware by now, Dynasty Warriors 9 released with a miriad of problems and issues, and Omega Force has been releasing incremental patch updates to fix up and better improve the game across all three platforms. A new patch, and some new additions for a specific platform have now come out! So here is our rundown, starting off with a new (smaller) patch to fix some specific issues the games have had.

    Dynasty Warriors 9 PS4 Patch v1.07

    Corrected the following issues:
    -The Chapter 11 Mission “Deliver the Fake Note” could not be completed.
    -Starting Free Mode without having played the Story Mode would cause the default weapons of officers to disappear.
    -The screen would become dark when viewing events and movies from the Gallery.
    -The player would become buried in the ground after completing the Chapter 7 Mission “Liu Bei’s Escape”.

    Corrected a number of other minor issues.

    Dynasty Warriors 9 Steam Patch v1.05

    Corrected the following issues:
    -The Chapter 11 Mission “Deliver the Fake Note” could not be completed.
    -Starting Free Mode without having played the Story Mode would cause the default weapons of officers to disappear.
    -The screen would become dark when viewing events and movies from the Gallery.
    -The player would become buried in the ground after completing the Chapter 7 Mission “Liu Bei’s Escape”.

    Added UI Language support for Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified).
    Added voice language support for Chinese (Simplified).

    Corrected a number of other minor issues.

    Dynasty Warriors 9 XB1 Patch v1.06

    Added the feature “Photo Mode”.
    Added gems that grant new effects.
    Improved the movement of officers during battle.
    Adjusted the frequency in which dialogue occurs during battle.

    Corrected the following issues:
    -During Chapter 6 Mission “Showdown at Chibi”, the game would sometimes stop when approaching a Prayer Bench while mounted.
    -Attacks would sometimes not hit soldiers.
    -Archers would not vanish after capturing a base.
    -Soldiers would continue flinching in fear for a long time.

    Added an option to adjust the “Screen Size” in the Options menu.
    Corrected a number of other minor issues.

    That was a lot of a mouthful. But the key points for those who don’t want to delve into the full notes is that some rare game breaking moments have been fixed. The Steam version of the game now has the option for Chinese (Simplified) audio, and the XB1 version is now caught up to the last set of patches.

    Another addition that may have slipped under the radar for some, and many might not even care is that now the Steam version of Dynasty Warriors 9 allows you to acquire Trading Cards.

    That’s everything for now, and we hope more updates (be it new content or fixes) will continue to roll in on all platforms, and hope that we will soon hear of the first DLC Pack’s release.

    Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi Announced for the West!

    Posted in: All, News & Announcements. Tagged: , , , , , , , , . Leave a comment


    KOEI Tecmo today announced their first new upcoming game for the Summer, and it is the sequel to their acclaimed Grand Strategy game Nobunaga’s Ambition; Nobunaga’s Ambition Taishi. It’ll be arriving for Playstation 4 and PC via Steam on 5th June for America and 8th June for Europe. Check below for the press release and reveal trailer!

    KOEI TECMO Europe is proud to announce today the upcoming western release of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi, the latest standalone entry in the Grand Strategy Series which focuses on the pivotal events of Sengoku Era Japan. Slated for release on the 8th June 2018 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and digitally for Windows PC via Steam®; players will be able to experience the moments that lead up to the fracture of Japan – from the establishment of clans to the emergence of the first Shogunate.

    Marking the series’ 35th anniversary, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi remains true to the long-running franchise’s historical simulation gameplay; allowing players to relive some of the most epic battles and notable events of the Sengoku Era in Japan. The Sengoku Era was a period where regional lords fiercely fought for supremacy, to claim dominance and unite the lands. Players will have to exploit a wide breadth of tactical options to create fresh strategies that allow new ways to gain an advantage over the opponent. Strategies do not only focus on the Military Campaigns, but also on managing the Production Facilities and Trade Routes to continuously expand territory and increase the strength of the army.

    These elements are further enhanced through the introduction of the Resolve System; where each officer has their own set of aspirations that will depict how they will act in a given situation and gameplay will change accordingly, with new tactics needed to accommodate opposing or similar viewpoints. With the Resolve System officers will be showcase a more human and personal feel, providing players a deeper insight into the historical simulation the series is renowned for.

    Dynasty Warriors 9 has been a rather mixed bag with peoples opinions, but that hasn’t deterred KOEI Tecmo and Omega Force in following through with more content via their Season Pass. With that, they have announced their release date schedule for the three content packs, and they are as follows:

    Hideaway Customisation Pack – April 2018
    Five Hideaway exteriors.
    Ten new furniture pieces.
    Five trial missions that can be taken repeatedly.

    Additional Weapons Pack – May 2018
    Three new weapon types with new actions (move sets).
    Three models of high-levelled weapons.

    Additional Scenario Pack – Summer 2018
    The unique NPCs; Xiahou Ji, Dong Bai, Hua Xiong, and Yuan Shu, will be made as playable characters. They will also have their own action gameplay (move sets), scenarios, and events.

    So there you have it. The meat of the DLC content won’t be arriving until sometime this Summer, but we have some new content injections happening both this and next month. It is likely we won’t find out the exact release dates until the week they are planned to arrive, but we will be sure to report on it!

    Note that you can purchase the Season Pass now and get all these packs as soon as they release, or buy them individually.

    What are your thoughts on the DLC? Do you hope they end up adding more packs at a later date? Let us know in the comments!
