Providing an alternative look on the events in Samurai Warriors 4, Koei Tecmo detailed the strategy-focused Samurai Warriors 4 Empires:
Empires provides an alternative look on the events depicted in Samurai Warriors 4, using the historical landscape as a setting for an exciting strategy-focused game. Players have the opportunity to create their own character and set up a game that starts them off in the lower ranks of the army and allows them to gradually progress to rule the entire land through their conquests.
Samurai Warriors 4 Empires marks the return of the ‘Empires‘ brand in the Samurai Warriors universe after a nine year gap. Since the 2007 release of Samurai Warriors 2 Empires for the PlayStation 2, Samurai Warriors has grown to become one of the most successful and acclaimed titles in the Warriors universe. This revamped version of the fan-favourite installment features much improved battle gameplay and an expanded intuitive governing system, and explores the effects of building in-depth relationships and alliances.
Samurai Warriors 4 Empires will be available through retail and digital on PS4, with PS3 and PS Vita getting a digital release only.
