Well, looks like Koei Tecmo is taking Samurai Warriors 4 to all of the usual stops. Much like just about every other mainline Warriors title, the sengoku period slasher will be getting its own Empires spin-off. It'll be marching into Japanese stores on the 3rd September, which likely means a spring 2016 Western release, if it does indeed make it overseas.
Of course, we're still waiting for Samurai Warriors 4-II over here - which launches on the 2nd October - but there's no doubt that Empires will be a different beast entirely. According to Siliconera, Koei has said that Samurai Warriors 4: Empires will feature more strategic elements than ever before, and it sounds like your relationships and bonds with your fellow officers will play an important part in conquering feudal Japan.
Are you ready for yet more Samurai Warriors? Propose a strategic marriage in the comments section below.

Yes! I've been wanting this for a while. I'm really looking forward to this.
Oy! This adds more confusion to the mix! Now, do I get Warriors 4, 4-II, Chronicles 3, or Empires?! You know what? Samurai Warriors 4 is the only one available now so if it hits a respectable discounted price in the PSN store, I'm sold.
Over saturation.
@ollietaro are they the same game? what are the difference?
@ollietaro I am having the same dilemma. Probably gonna pick up SW4 with a discount before any of the new releases hit NA PSN.
@whywai88 from what I played of dw:empires there moslty the same but far less story but alot more elements and things to do along with customation . if you want a liyyle bit more strategy go with empires. If you want a bit more hack and slash (both are have HnS tbh) go with regular dw.
@whywai88 All four of the games I mentioned include similar characters, scenarios, and hack 'n slash gameplay from Samurai Warriors 4. Each have their own unique and similar modes of play. Go to the Koei Wikia to look up each title and its modes of gameplay. Start with Samurai Warriors 4, here --> http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Samurai_Warriors_4
