The PC version of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is coming to the West, Tecmo Koei have announced. The game will be available on PC this May in both the U.S. and Europe.

 

As reported in the past, the PC version of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends will require Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 to play. You’ll be able to adjust settings such as distances, character model quality, texture quality and more.

 

In the screenshot above, you see an adjustable option called “Graphic Detail”. This actually refers to LOD or “level of detail,” which determines how complex an object looks, depending on how close to it you are. Finally, the last three options, in case you can’t make them out, are “Dynamic Shadows,” “Shaders” and “Post Effects”.

 

The two screenshots above this paragraph are from the Japanese version of the game, and illustrate the differences between low and high settings. You’ll notice that the first screenshot has fewer enemies on the screen, fewer details on each individual enemy, and a less detailed ground texture, among other changes.

 

The PC version will also contain free DLC from Dynasty Warriors 8 and Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.
