Ahead of Dynasty Warriors 9's Japanese release early next year, publisher Koei Tecmo has confirmed that the next Samurai Warriors game is in the works. The news comes via series producer Hisashi Koinuma, who posted on Twitter saying that development has just started.
Koinuma doesn't specify what the project actually is, but we have to imagine that it's probably Samurai Warriors 5. Perhaps it'll adopt the same open world format as the aforementioned Dynasty Warriors 9?
Unfortunately, it's going to be a while before we have an answer to that question. The producer states that the game won't be ready for at least a few years, so that leaves plenty of time for speculation.
The last mainline Samurai Warriors title, Samurai Warriors 4, launched all the way back in 2014, but Koei Tecmo has released several spin-offs since then.
What do you want from a new Samurai Warriors game? Lay siege to the comments section below.

No thank you. Not a Warriors guy.
Poor man's Splatoon IMO.
Dynasty and Samurai warriors' games are my guilty pleasure. I know it's basically the same game over and over but I just love them. Also I really like the sengoku era story so it kinda helps.
Didn't try the last game, the Sanada-centric one, but samurai warriors 4 was quite nice. Bring on the next one!
@Bliquid Basically anything that you dislike, don't care for, or like but have some issues with.
If you have some issues with something but like other aspects of it, you could just say "It's a bit of a poor man's Splatoon in that area, but everything else is good" or something along those lines.
This is good news. A few years is fine as we have DW9, AoT2 and hopefully Berserk 2 on the way. I really want a Warriors Orochi 4 and Bladestorm 2 as well. Plus we will obv get a DW9 empires as well
I just hope it expands on the customisations and keep the content growing, each game has had more modes, characters and levels than the previous.
I had to wait almost a decade for SW4. I can wait a few years for the next one.
@Athrum agreed to everything you said
Yes I want! SW is always better than DW
I would LOveee to play that if it had English voices
