Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is soon approaching its Japan release date, December 19. The game is a re-release of Warriors Orochi 4 with additional content, including new characters.
Koei Tecmo recently released the second trailer of the game on YouTube.
The trailer showcases the new characters coming to the series. They include both original characters and characters from the previous series.
The original characters include Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess of Olympus, who can bring together everyone to save the world. Hades is the God of the Underworld and Zeus’ older brother, who gets along well with everyone. Yang Jian was a real historical figure but is an original character to the series. Yang Jian is described as a genius, but in reality, he’s just a hard worker.
Returning from previous games are Joan of Arc from Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War, Team Ninja’s Ryu Hayabusa, and the powerful Greek Warrior Achilles from Warriors: Legends of Troy.
The main storyline remains the same: “The re-assembled heroes are faced with yet another new battle. The key to solving this mysterious situation and returning the world back to normal are eight “bracelets” that possess great power. In search of these bracelets, the heroes clash against one another with their individual convictions. Before long, it becomes apparent that Zeus, the king of the gods of Mount Olympus, is behind this. What is his aim in rebuilding this parallel world in which heroes battled against Orochi? In order to solve this mystery, the heroes decide to battle against the gods.”
While gamers may have already completed Warriors Orochi 4, new storylines, sub-scenarios, modes, and gameplay were added to Ultimate.
The new storylines will add additional context to the original story, along with a new ending. Games can also take advantage of Infinity Mode and the Promotion System to continue growing their favorite heroes to their fullest potential.
While new content has been added, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have resolved issues with Warriors Orochi 4. Gameplay has been made easier thanks to improved UI and control settings.
Newcomers to the series can purchase Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate in either physical or digital form. Those who already own the original game can buy “The Ultimate Upgrade Pack” to access all of the additional content.
Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate will be released in North America and Europe on February 14, 2020, for the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
