E3 is over but the big news just keeps dropping, and today KOEI TECMO America have announced the full release date for the latest instalment in the one-versus-thousands action game series – Warriors Orochi 4.
The return of Warriors Orochi is no doubt something at the forefront of many gamer’s minds, with the return of split-screen co-op confirmed at E3, but the real big news is the release date of all this and KOEI TECMO America have revealed that come October 16th 2018, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC players will all be able to get in on the action.
Warriors Orochi 4 will boast no less than 170 playable characters from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors universes, giving players an astounding number of options to choose from when playing alone or with a friend.
And with this latest fusion title featuring the inaugural appearance of Magic abilities, allowing characters to wield phenomenally powerful and visually impressive attacks against their most challenging foes, we can be sure for a fight that is right up there with the best of them. These new-found powers come from the gods’ most divine artefacts: the Sacred Treasures. In this distorted, merged version of their worlds, all Warriors are unexpectedly gifted with a Sacred Treasure that fuels their spell-casting attacks. Alongside their legacy moves and special attacks, they can now cast ranged and targeted spells, or even combine their powers with those of an ally for truly devastating blows.
Showcasing the new possibilities that open up in Warriors Orochi is a new trailer, offering a deeper look into the game’s first announced new character – the father of the Greek pantheon: Zeus. Wielding the mighty Keravnos, Zeus has the power to call down thunder to devastate his enemies and he seems to partner up with familiar faces from the Warriors-verse to defeat a yet-unknown foe.
We will of course keep you fully up-to-date with all things Warriors Orochi 4 related in the weeks and months ahead. For now though, settle down with that trailer and prepare to enjoy the ride!
