Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires released last month and has been releasing a decent stream of free DLC. The content isn't exactly minblowing, consisting of new costumes and background music, but it's still pretty cool. Japanese fans, however, are going to get something a little more interesting, when the game unexpectedly collaborates with Souten Kouro, an anime show that I've never heard of because I don't write for Japanator.
Whether or not this comes to the West is anybody's guess, but the content is supposed to hit PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime this month. The Japanese-only Dynasty Warriors Online and Sangokushi Online are also expecting some tie-in love, taking the form of in-game events.
This is going to be a big deal to somebody, somewhere, so I'll just leave this story here for those few wretched individuals.

I don't know why I didn't bother watching the rest of it.
"In the first episode Cao Cao decapitates someone by stabbing a broken sword through his neck and jumping on it. Said head is then propelled around by its own arterial spray."
That's nothing compared to Lu Bu's debut in this anime... where his lord before Dong Zhuo is literally, fatally propelled into the ceiling by Lu Bu's ''electric awesome''.
Apparently DWO will introduce a wall painting of a young Cao Cao from the anime, and for Sangokushi Online it's a blue club with a yin-yang on the end, along with the in-game events in both.
