Are you a fan of Dynasty Warriors and want to take the action on the road?  Okay that was a pretty cliched opening line, but nevertheless Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires is now available digitally for the PlayStation Vita.  Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires lets players choose from eighty-three unique characters to play as, create original characters through the Edit Mode, and even customize horses, banners, and officers.

Players who purchase the game on the PlayStation Network during the first month of release will also get a Special Edit Parts pack as an early-purchase bonus.  The game is also compatible with PlayStation TV and players who own the PS3 or PS4 versions can utilize Cross-Play and Cross-Save functionality across all platforms, plus any content downloaded for the PS3 and PS4 versions can be downloaded on the PS Vita at no extra charge.
