New Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires screenshots have surfaced today, and they mostly revolve around the classic characters. A previous batch from June showed us plenty of newcomer Xu Shu, but today focuses on the fighters we know and (mostly) love.

The shots are from the Japanese version, as a North American release has yet to be officially confirmed, but we can see in advance how the game's menus will look. Of course Yuan Shao is having the time of his life, with sparkles and everything. You know what else? Mustache-free Liu Bei has the universe's biggest baozi in his possession. Really miss that mustache...

Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires -- or Shin Sangoku Musou 6: Empires in Japan -- will be released in September across the Pacific as a PS3 exclusive. No word yet on when it'll come to the West or if the 360 will get some love.
