Samurai Warriors 5 Launches for Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC This Summer

Koei Tecmo have no shortage of musou Warriors franchises under their belt. While the Dynasty Warriors series transports players to large-scale battles in the Three Kingdoms era in China, Samurai Warriors instead focuses on some good old samurai action in Japan. It’s been a while since the latter got a new entry, but that’ll be changing soon.

Samurai Warriors 5 is coming later this year to consoles and PC, and will bring more 1 vs 1000 battles for players to dive into. With a new visual presentation and updated character models, it’s looking to be a step up for the series from a graphical perspective. It will focus on two key figures from the Sengoku era- the warlord Oda Nobunaga, and his former ally and eventual assassin Akechi Mitsuhide.

Samurai Warriors 5 launches for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC this Summer. There’s no word yet on enhancements for next-gen consoles or an exact release date, but those details will be coming soon, so stay tuned.
