Just found out about it maybe 12 minutes ago, not sure if you know about it or not.

I'm excited because not only are alot of characters getting redesigns, but they're also switching up some weapons. Check out the characters they have up so far, specifically Lu Bu. The weapon he has is pretty ridiculous.
EDIT- Woot here are some of the changes-
"-New features
+For the first time, you are able to swim in water and climb latters. The actual usefulness in these features during battle, is unknown.
+Most characters are getting a weapon upgrade or change. Every character is getting new movesets and looks.
+Horses can be selected pre-battle, and have experience like in SW2.
+Combo system is totally changed. Basic attacks are now an infinite repeating combo - think Gundam Muso at a high level but never ending. The number of moves before the loop repeats is determined by the level of that new extra gauge, (from level 1 ro 3, then infinite).
+Charge moves, rather than changing depending on where the basic moves are interrupted, are now also just a different, stronger combo of moves which also adds extra moves as the guage increase.
+Pressing basic attack or charge while holding block does a new close "grab" style move.
+System of picking up items that increase defense, attack etc. perminantly by defeating bosses seems to be gone. Characters gain experiance in real-time and can level up during the battle.
+Equipping weapons remains, but not sure about items. Rather each character now has a complex skill tree with multiple branches from which different paths appear to be able to be selected / moved along.
+Rather than killing gate defenders most gates how have to be smashed through using attacks.
+Press down on the directional pad when on foot to call your horse over to you. From looking at your map your horse "teleports" in out of physical sight but nearby and then runs up.
+Enemies seem to drop less health.
+It seems all characters now attack on one side of the horse.
+Duels have returned. Instead of being isolated in a unknown place, like in DW4, you duel in the middle of battle with the officer while the troops create a circle around you.
+The Renbu System (See below)"
