Warriors Orochi fans that have been anticipating a western release can now cheer in excitement, because a set date has been revealed and it’s coming this year! Not only do we now have a specific October date, but we also have confirmation that the series’ staple of co-op is making a big comeback as well for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and the Nintendo Switch! Feast your eyes on the glorious new trailer below:

“The re-assembled heroes are faced with yet another new battle. The key to solving this mysterious situation and returning the world back to normal are eight ‘bracelets’ that possess great power. In search of these bracelets, the heroes clash against one another with their individual convictions. Before long it becomes apparent that Zeus, the king of the gods of Mount Olympus, is behind this. What is his aim in rebuilding this parallel world in which the heroes battled against Orochi? In order to solve this mystery, the heroes decide t battle against the gods.”

The team over at Koei Tecmo told us, “Tthis 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,” they added. “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!”
