Flick through the pages of this week’s Famitsu and you’ll come across a double-page spread dedicated to Warriors Orochi 2 which is due to launch this December in Japan. Despite the somewhat misleading title, this is the third games in the Musou Orochi series; the first sequel (which launched on PSP, PS2, and Xbox 360) was referred to as Musou Orochi Maou Sairin, but known internationally as Warriors Orochi 2.
The series is essentially a crossover of both the Samurai and Dynasty Warriors franchises, this instalment featuring over 120 individual playable characters, taken from the series’ latest iterations, Dynasty Warriors 7 and Samurai Warriors 3. There will also be a cluster of new fighters to choose from inspired by Chinese/Japanese mythology, Kaguya being the first newly announced entry.
For the first time Warriors fans will also be able to create their very own missions. According to the initial scans, players can customise and upload their scenarios for other users to download and play, though the depth of these creation tools has yet to be expanded on.
