A few Japanese screenshots of Dynasty Warriors 8's Empires adaptation have been released.

In customary Empires fashion, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires will introduce more tactical and political elements to the game-play to make for a more unique experience from vanilla Dynasty Warriors 8. The screens include a peek at combat and various modes.

View them below. Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires (Shin Sangoku Musou 7: Empires) launches in Japan on September 25th.
