Koei Tecmo recently released a new promotional video for Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate. The same title, known as Musou Orochi 3 in Japan, is days away from release.
The publisher’s new video details its large roster of characters and many new features in the upcoming expansion.
Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is a major upgrade to the original title, which was released in 2018. The original title had a few new updates, but they were mostly patches.
According to the official trailer: “Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate delivers exciting new story elements, including side stories, to the electrifying franchise as the heroes from Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and the gods of ancient history team up to fight the powerful Odin and his army who have set out to destroy the world. Who was the mastermind inciting Odin, and how will side stories like Zhong Hui’s undercover activity as a spy come into play? The truth is finally revealed in Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate.”
The new game has a new storyline and sub-scenarios, two new gameplay modes, a promotion system, plus improved playability. For those who have already exhausted the base game, there is now more content to explore, especially with the announcement of new characters.
Six new characters were previously announced, including Gaia, Achilles, and Hades. Joan of Arc from Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War and Ryu Hayabusa of Team Ninja’s Ninja Gaiden also return. An additional character, Yang Jian, was one of the last to be announced along with his giant “divine canine companion known as Xiaotian.”
In addition to these new characters to the game, the title already boasts one of the largest rosters. Thankfully, players can choose a team of either their favorite characters or the strongest characters that have the best set of skills.
The Ultimate expansion pack is the most massive update to the game so far. Since it contains so much more content, it does come at a price. Koei Tecmo is offering multiple ways for players new and old to play the game. Players can either purchase a complete edition that includes the base game and Ultimate or purchase Ultimate as a separate add-on.
Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is scheduled for launch in North America on February 14, 2020, on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
