A new Samurai Warriors begins.
After a seven-year wait, a new instalment in the tactical action series Samurai Warriors is finally here!
With this title, the historical period depicted in the first title of the “SAMURAI WARRIORS” series released in 2004 has been revamped.
With visuals that have largely evolved since the first “SAMURAI WARRIORS”, additional officers, and evolved actions, an even deeper drama set in the warring states is depicted.
Also, with a focus on the lives of officers Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi, in order to more intensely and boldly depict the warring states era spanning from the end of the Onin War to the Incident at Honnoji, the title is the beginning of a new series, in which the stories and characters from the traditional Samurai Warriors have been revamped.
