Samurai Warriors 5 has just been announced, and it's not what we were expecting. Koei Tecmo is looking to refresh the hack and slash franchise, describing it as a "re-imagining". Despite having a '5' at the end of its name, this new instalment is technically a prequel. It follows series mainstays Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi in their younger years, and it boasts a colourful new art style.
A Samurai Warriors 5 is set to launch this summer. A livestream is taking place later this month, on the 25th February, which promises more information on the game, as well as a finalised release date.

Oh thank god! That explains why it looked like a downgraded port in the Switch trailer. Cant wait to play it in my big d#ck PS5.
Gracia better be there.
@AndyKazama If it's entirely set in the past, she won't even be born yet!
If you can’t get dic**ed down by the two twunks, I’m not interested.
Yeah!
I hope yukimura sanada be there.
@leonhardt Depending On When This Takes Place Yukimura Might Be ether a Kid Or Infant To Compensate For That They Might Have You Use His Father.
@AndyKazama @ShogunRok Shame, Gracis is one of the best characters.
Either way, if it has something like Chronicles mode I'll be interested. I loved going around getting to know all the characters, who are surprisingly well done and fleshed out there. It's also kind of fun having the entire female cast fall in love with your custom character lol.
I'm so close to finishing it, that I might have to back and finish off one of these days. I have like 4-6 events with characters unfinished.
Looking forward to it, hopefully will own a ps5 by then
@ShogunRok Gracia will find a way.
Prequel= No Naotora one less thing to be excited about....that and Dynasty Warriors 9 was the last game which doesn't inspire confidence
@Keyblade-Dan Actually the real Naotora in history was about the same birth year and died on the same year as Nobunaga. So if Koei want, they really can add her again. After all they add her to Battle of osaka, 33 years after her actual death. ¯(ツ)/¯
Samurai warriors 4 was my first platinum ever, on ps4. So I look forward to Samurai warriors 5 very much.
@nplbbs Good point though I still expect a steaming pile of garbage after DW 9
@Keyblade-Dan Samurai Warriors/Dynasty Warriors are very much different, in terms of gameplay mechanics and story.
Also Omega Force have made many great Warriors games after DW9 - Warriors Orochi 4, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and most recently Persona 5 Strikers, which have all reviewed very well and have been fantastic warriors games.
I think KT have learned from DW9, so I feel Samurai Warriors 5 will be great, if not fantastic. Fingers crossed regardless!
