The Dynasty Warriors games from publisher Koei have been a console staple in both the US and Japan for a number of years but the hack-and-slash historical game series hasn't had much of a PC history. Now the franchise is about to make a bigger impact on the PC in the US and Europe as Aeria Games has announced plans to launch Dynasty Warriors Online.

Aeria Games is already taking sign ups to beta test the free-to-play online game. If you are familiar with the Dynasty Warriors formula you might guess that the online version has lots of sword play, lots of characters on screen, lots of massive combos and generally lots of "stuff". The MMO part of the game includes character customization, solo and party quests and Player Vs. Player modes with support for up to two teams of 12 players. There's no word yet on when the game will officially launch.

"Based on the epic novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the genre-defining Dynasty Warriors 6 depicts the massive battles ignited by the fall of the Han Dynasty when three rebellious states moved to overthrow the Emperor of China.

Dynasty Warriors 6 delivers the unparalleled exhilaration of single-handedly destroying thousands of soldiers on massive fields of combat. Utilizing spectacular fighting techniques motion-captured from some of today's leading stuntmen and stuntwomen in Asia, Dynasty Warriors 6 immerses gamers in a truly cinematic kung-fu action adventure. The game's lightning-fast fighting, intuitive combat system and breathtaking environments create an unparalleled gaming experience that pushes the limits of Tactical Action."
