Samurai Warriors 5 confirms more characters and post-launch DLC

Koei Tecmo has shared the latest information on Samurai Warriors 5. Ten new playable fighters have now been confirmed.

Here’s the update from Koei Tecmo:

The Samurai Warriors 5 characters announced today include ten former non-playable characters who are now ready to fight for the spotlight. These characters feature unique graphics, but since they are more of the game’s supporting cast and not part of the main storyline, they may not have the unique “Power Attacks” and other features that the previously announced 27 characters employ in battle. Nonetheless, these characters are fierce, and should not be overlooked when it comes to combat.

Members of the new supporting cast include everyone from Nobunaga’s younger brother, Nobuyuki Oda, to Motonari Mōri’s grandson, Terumoto Mōri. Additional historic figures will also be featured, including Motonobu Okabe, Katsuyori Takeda, Motoharu Kikkawa, Dōsan Saitō, Yoshitatsu Saitō, Yoshiaki Ashikaga, Yoshikage Asakura, and Fujihide Mitsubuchi.

Also announced today is that Samurai Warriors 5 will be receiving a bunch of post-launch DLC. Players can look forward to all-new scenarios, BGM sets, and horses.
