No, that’s not a typo. Koei announced today that Dynasty Warriors 6, released as a retail title for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 early this year, is in development for the PC and PS2.

The PS2 edition will debut as a “massive” two-disc set, packed with a host of exclusive content including a collection of all-new “Musou” mode stories, new weapons, five additional stages and 10 new scenarios. Scheduled to release alongside the PS2 version on November 18, the Windows PC based game, which will be sold exclusively through digital distribution channels, is essentially a port of the 360 and PS3 original.

A bit late, but very exciting announcement. Being sarcastic, of course.
