Check Out Dynasty Warriors 8′s 7 Up and Vocaloid Crossover Costumes

by Feb 15th 2013 8:17PM 1

Tecmo Koei is putting together some crazy Japanese promotional tie-ups for its upcoming action game Dynasty Warriors 8. One of these promotions adds a 7 Up – yes, as in the soft drink – themed costume for series front man Zhao Yun. This costume will be available for free download from February 28th. The king of overpowered generals Lu Bu also has a promo costume. Japanese guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei contributed a song to Dynasty Warriors 8‘s soundtrack, and buy purchasing his album Come Rain, Come Shine you can get that nasty black costume for Lu Bu.

The newest promo costume is a pre-order bonus from Japanese convenience store chain Lawson. Pre-ordering there will earn fans a costume that dresses Wang Yuanji up like the store’s vocaloid mascot Akikoloid-chan. She’ll also get a special weapon. I’d pass on the 7 Up and vocaloid costumes, but it’d be really cool if North America could get that Lu Bu costume as well. Dynasty Warriors 8 is currently only confirmed for release in Japan, where it’ll launch on February 28th, exclusively for the PS3.

    At what point did they sit back and think, “Hey, you know what we need to do? Make Lu Bu EVEN MORE badass.”

    It’s been a while since I’ve delved into the DW franchise. The last I played was 5 Empires and DW: Gundam.
    Hopefully 8 will reel me back in.
