Dynasty Warriors 9[Note 1] is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person hack and slash and open world game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo. It is a part of the Dynasty Warriors franchise within the larger Warriors series.
It was released on consoles in Japan on February 8, 2018 and subsequently released on Steam for worldwide on February 13, 2018. The Steam release at that time was consider as Western release which supposed not to include Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese as language selection, but the release contains the original corresponding language files in it and can be modified using registry edit method to force the game to use the corresponding language. 2 days after the Steam version launch, Koei Tecmo issued an update to fix "unsupported languages" by removing those corresponding languages' files.

The game was converted into free-to-play model under the name of Dynasty Warriors 9 Trial on November 1, 2018 which grants player free to play online with other players in co-op mode with randomly shuffled roster of 6 officers daily or access to 3 player-selected officer's first chapter of the story mode with 3 trial tickets. Player need to purchase certain individual officer's tickets or the full game in order to access the individual or multiple officers that player wanted.
On December 12, 2019, the game's store page has been changed to sell 3 different bundles in discounted price: The Complete Edition which includes the main game with all the Season Passes and Special Costume Set, Special Scenario Edition which includes the main game with additional scenario DLCs and Hideaway Customization DLC, and Special Weapon Edition which includes the main game with additional weapon DLCs and Hideaway Customization DLC.
