We've never bothered to cover the latest Samurai Warriors title purely because we weren't sure if it was actually going be confirmed for a Western release due to its ties with Japanese television series Sanada Maru. However, prolific publisher Koei Tecmo has announced that Samurai Warriors: Sanada Maru will indeed be heading to Europe and North America at some point in 2017.
A spin-off of the great Samurai Warriors 4, Sanada Maru focuses on legendary fighter Yukimura Sanada and his clan. Yukimura himself is playable as a child, a young man, and an older adult, with the story spotlighting his life over the course of around 50 years. It certainly sounds like an interesting approach, especially if you're a fan of Japanese history.

Hmm.. interesting idea, but for me most of the fun of these games comes from the wide variety of character choices. Playing only one character ,even though different ages, might get stale fast.
@Elodin The full Samurai Warriors 4 roster is playable (plus a few new characters) - just not sure how the story works in terms of picking your character.
@ShogunRok ahh. That makes more sense. Thanks. I'll have to add this to my watch list.
Still waiting for a new Warriors Orochi.
