Samurai Warriors 5 takes place after the end of the Ōnin War, during the Sengoku period, and tells the story of two of the most preeminent military commanders of this period – Nobunaga Oda, and Mitsuhide Akechi. This title includes various eras from this period, including the younger years of Nobunaga, when he was known as “Owari’s Great Fool,” and the period of turmoil and upheaval leading to the Honnō-Ji Incident.

Original character Mitsuki – known as the Kōga Ninja, has also been added, with other new characters to be announced at a later date. In addition, all-new Musou actions have been added to the series – including newly designed frenzy attacks – elevating the thrill of blowing away hordes of enemy soldiers in an exhilarating fashion. These actions are displayed in a vibrant new Japanese ink painting art style, elegantly evolving the SAMURAI WARRIORS series to showcase the Sengoku period in stunning fashion as the intertwining stories of Nobunaga and Mitsuhide unravel on the screen like a Sengoku period picture scroll.
