Slated for release in mid-October, Warriors Orochi 4 will seemingly be all about the characters – at least if the reveal from KOEI TECMO America is anything to go by!
Revealed today is a whole army of new characters for Warriors Orochi 4, as fan favourites from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors franchises get together and return to the battlefield, taking on an unknown force.
The one versus thousands action game will see four new gods arrive, each equipped with powerful mystic weaponry known as Sacred Treasures. These join Warriors Orochi 4’s extensive roster and include Perseus, Ares, Athena, and Odin.
Perseus – the hero of Olympus and demigod son of Zeus – hearing news that his father is meddling in the human world, decides to rise to fight alongside them. Meanwhile, Athena – the wise and powerful goddess of wisdom – learning of Perseus’ plans descends to earth to capture him. She uses magic powers to manipulate the size of her Sacred Treasure, the shield Aegis, which she throws at her opponents to turn them to stone. At the same time, Ares – the god of war – fights passionately to fulfill his own beliefs – that the gods should dominate humanity. Wielding his twin spears to transform into a vigorous dragon, Typhon unleashes a stream of fire on those unfortunate enough to cross its path. The ruler of Asgard, Odin, also joins the fray using Gungnir, a unique spear which summons magical blades to its tip to become a powerful drill that can quickly eliminate any who stand in his way.
In addition to these four new gods a host of pre-order bonuses for both physical and digital versions of Warriors Orochi 4 have also been announced. Provided you pre-order the physical edition of the game through select retailers, you will receive alternative costumes for Xu Shu, Mitsunari Ishida, Da Ji, Wang Yuanji, Wang Yi, Lady Hayakawa, Xingcai, Guo Jia, Takatora Todo, and Yoshitsugu Otani.
Should you choose to pre-order digitally on the Xbox Store and Nintendo eShop, then you will receive all of the previously mentioned bonuses plus two extra bonuses: an elusive unicorn and the mighty Pegasus. Digital pre-orders on the PlayStation Store will be rewarded with Pegasus alongside a special Warriors Orochi 4 theme.
Warriors Orochi 4 will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC with a release in North America set for October 16th 2018.
