​

Burlingame, Calif. – April 11, 2017 – KOEI TECMO America is excited to reveal today the upcoming western release of developer Omega Force’s latest one-versus-thousand action title and celebration of everything KOEI TECMO, Warriors All-Stars. Bringing together many of KOEI TECMO Games’ most beloved characters for an all-new Warriors style experience, Warriors All-Stars is headed to the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and digitally on Windows PC via Steam® on August 29, 2017.


Warriors All-Stars features a wide selection of fan-favorite characters from various KOEI TECMO Games franchises. Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden, Kasumi from DEAD OR ALIVE, William fromNioh, Yukimura Sanada from SAMURAI WARRIORS, Zhao Yun from DYNASTY WARRIORS, Horo and Oka from Toukiden, and Sophie Neuenmuller from Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book are among the many rivals who will contend for royalty in Warriors All-Stars.


Warriors All-Stars begins in a mysterious land brought to the brink of destruction when a magical spring, the source of its power, dries up after its king’s passing. Following a legend that calls for the summoning of champions from other realms in times of dire need, the young princess Tamaki performs a ritual that goes horribly wrong when her powers spiral out of control, scattering the heroes across the domain. Emboldened to restore peace to the world, Tamaki must recruit the best and strongest among these visitors to revitalize the spring – and crown the land’s savior as its new ruler.


To celebrate today’s announcement, KOEI TECMO America released a selection of assets introducing Warriors All-Stars, and will share more information on the playable characters and gameplay features in the coming months. Pre-order bonus images were also released, showcasing the fun and fantastical content available for those who purchase Warriors All-Stars ahead of the game’s release on August 29, 2017 from Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop or EB Canada. A selection of costume-swap costumes is on offer to commemorate the game’s crossover capers, including a Kasumi-themed costume for Wang Yuanji, a Ryu Hayabusa-themed costume for Yukimura Sanada, an Oka-themed costume for Sophie Neuenmuller, a Millennia-themed costume for Horo and an Opoona costume for Marie-Rose. In addition, prospective players will also receive an early-unlock for the playable character Opoona!

Not sure how to feel about this..

 

[Zaraf]

Haha, this is soooo Japanese...

 

[TheCasketMan]

I'm getting tired of Musou games.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Oh my god! TECMO MAKE A NEW GAME ALREADY. O_O

All i can see is this "hack-N-Slash" Stuff for like the past few years, Hyrule warriors, Dragon quest heroes, Fire emblem heroes, PLEASE JUST MAKE A NEW GAME! Make ninja Gaiden 4 or something, or maybe add more characters to dead or alive, not just COSTUMES!

 

[anhminh]

At least it not a Smash Bro. or Mario Kart rip-off like some other "All-star" game.

 

[Hells Malice]

Looks fun. Haven't played a Warriors game in a while.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

@Bimmel Look, a new button masher.

Umm well is not much, just add some new characters on top of a game that already existed, maybe change a few things is called UPDATING AND RESELLING.

Come on you should know this by now.

Koei Tecmo doesn't fail when it comes to sony localizations. Maybe we'll get the switch version of romance of the three kingdoms soon.

 

[MaskedMarvel]

Engage in epic "battles" where the members of each army just stand there looking at each other while the player button mashes...

 

[Deleted User]

Another weeb game that will leave a bad taste in my mouth

Power to the players I guess......

 

[Igknotus]

Looks like a weird fanfiction game.

 

[TesseractStorm]

Pity they seem to have forgotten the Vita

 

[Clydefrosch]

Pity they seem to have forgotten the Vita

who hasn't, am i right?

as for the game, i'm fine with more of them, its not like they want to sell all of those games to the same people.

they want to sell the warriors series to fans of other IPs so releasing many, many games like that with different character skins seems like a pretty good way to make it happen

 

[MasterJ360]

Well ... its either another button masher or another typical military shooter game with campers... your pick

 

[leon315]

NOW almost every worth-of-a-penny games are being ported for pc steam, so pc mustarace with higher performance, stable fps and free online, there's literally no reason to buy home consols

 

[ov3rkill]

Musou games are an easy money for KOEI TECMO.

 

[MasterJ360]

Musou games are an easy money for KOEI TECMO.

Yeah they are well known for it and since they own Dead or Alive its even more bank for them, which is why we are starting to see them add DOA characters in musou games frequently vice-versa.
I'm glad this got announced b/c I was actually gonna buy the import, so glad I waited long enough to see this post
