Considering how complex and extensive war timeframes can be, sometimes they just blur together into a mess of endless fighting and capturing territories. Lucky for us, Samurai Warriors 4’s officers are an organized bunch: In the incoming hack-n-slasher’s new Chronicle mode, players can follow events through the journals of commanding officers, crossing new warriors and unlocking gear throughout their tour.
The related press release also noted three new warriors that will join SW4; the strategy-savvy Kojuro Katakura, Li clan leader Naotora and Koshosho, a fighter that bewitches men with her beauty. Pre-existing characters Hanzo, Hideyoshi, Ieyasu, Ina, Masamune, Motochika, Nene, Tadakatsu and Yoshimoto will also return in SW4.
If you’d rather start your own legacy in the Warring States era, there’s always SW4’s updated Create Character mode, which lets you micromanage specifics from armor sets to eye color. For anyone eager to just jump in though, there’s bound to be someone within SW4’s 55-character roster that works for you.
