A mobile Dynasty Warriors game was also announced at the show. Though the details – and upcoming beta – are restricted to Japan for now, it looks like the new title is coming to both Android and iOS devices.

Fans in Japan will get the chance to apply for the closed beta between today, 27th September, to 5th October 2020. The beta itself is expected to go live on 8th October and will run until 12th October.

“Exhilarating with your smartphone! Shin Ikki Tousen!” says the video description. “The latest work of the “Shin Sangoku Musou” series will be distributed as an app!”
