Warriors Orochi 4 Release Date Announced

KOEI TECMO Europe revealed that Warriors Orochi 4, the latest instalment in the one versus thousands action game series, will feature the return of fan-favourite split screen co-op!

Slated for release across Europe on 19th October 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, and digitally on Windows PC via Steam, Warriors Orochi 4 boasts a remarkable 170 playable characters from the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors universes, giving players an astounding number of options to choose from when playing alone, or with a friend.

Furthermore, this latest fusion title features the inaugural appearance of Magic abilities, allowing characters to wield phenomenally powerful and visually impressive attacks against their most challenging foes. 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!

To further showcase the new possibilities that open up in Warriors Orochi 4 Koei Tecmo released 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 Warrior-verse to defeat a yet-unknown foe!

Check out the Trailer:

Summary: The heroes who defeated Orochi returned to the places where they belong. All of their memories were lost. However, their worlds will once again come together. The eight bangles are the keys to return to their original worlds. And it appears that Zeus is behind it all. What is his purpose?

Equipping the sacred treasures enables the use of Divine Arts. These have various effects, such as attacks that round up several enemies.

One of the new stages is in the style of the Parthenon temple in Greece.

Collaboration characters will not appear in the game because the goal is to return to roots and greater depict the relationship between the Warring States and Sengoku periods.

Yoshitaka Murayama is supervising the game’s setting and story.

Orochi will be a key player this time. Orochi and True Orochi exist simultaneously. The details are still a secret.

Familiar controls, like Square + Square, and Square + Square + Triangle, will return.

By progressing through the “Deification” story, key characters will become available for use, and by meeting certain conditions during battle, their appearance and actiosn will power up.

The game uses a three person per group system.

Elements like Free Mode will be included.

Share multiplayer (likely meaning one Joy-Con per player) is still under consideration for the Switch version, mainly because there is a lack of buttons.

Warriors Orochi 4 is targeting a fall release in Japan. Development is currently 50 percent complete.
