Tecmo Koei announced that the fourth entry in Omega Force’s Samurai Warriors series is coming to the PS Vita, PS 3 and PS 4 in North America and Europe this fall.
Boasting a roster of 55 playable characters inspired by figures from Japan’s Warring States period, Samurai Warriors 4 adds several new modes and features to its hack-and-slash repertoire, including the quest-based Chronicle Mode and networked cooperative play across all supported platforms.
The release also marks Samurai Warriors’ return to Sony’s platforms after a brief absence. Though the series traces its origins back to the PlayStation 2, Samurai Warriors 3 premiered in 2010 as a Nintendo Wii exclusive, and the follow-up Samurai Warriors: Chronicles was available only for the Nintendo 3DS. Further details regarding Samurai Warriors 4 will be revealed at E3 next week.
