Today, Tecmo Koei Europe's Twitter account tweeted that Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition will be released on PC platforms next month in the United States and Europe.
Based on the tweet, people will access the game through Steam. However, the game is still not listed in the site's database as of this writing. The PC version was initially announced for Japan only and it was slated for release on May 23rd. Most can assume that the US and EU release will most likely be on or roughly around the same time.
That's right. #DW8XLCE is coming to PC this May 2014 (US and EU). Have a great Easter! #TKfamily pic.twitter.com/YbHUgwb4IW
