Koei ships Samurai Warriors
by Kit

Tuesday, July 13 2004

Strategy game coming to Xbox will model warfare in Feudal Japan.

KOEI, today announced that SAMURAI WARRIORS for the Xbox video game system is shipping to North American retailers. Gamers can order the game now at http://ebgames.com and http://gamestop.com.

"With SAMURAI WARRIORS aspiring warlords can make their bid to unite Feudal Japan. We are truly excited about delivering this powerful experience to Xbox owners across the continent," said Amos Ip, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at KOEI Corporation. "The Xbox community can look forward to an incredible adventure with some of the greatest samurai of all-time, spectacular battlefields and majestic castles action-packed with the fast and addictive gameplay for which KOEI has become known."

Set in 16th century Japan, the fall of the Ashikaga Shogunate caused a series of major wars between individual warlords vying for power. This era in Japanese history became known as the Sengoku or "warring states" period. SAMURAI WARRIORS reveals the stories from this dramatic era and combines it with pure Tactical Action gameplay.

Gamers can play as the heroic Yukimura Sanada or other legendary warriors including the powerful Nobunaga Oda, and the mysterious ninja, Hanzo Hattori. Their quests will take players to the sprawling Japanese battlefields of Okehazama and Kawanakajima and inside the embattled walls of Osaka Castle. Through 90 stages of epic battles, players will come face-to-face with gun-toting troops, echelons of ninja, and deadly kunoichi (female ninja).

Learn more about the game and the history behind the characters on the game's official minisite at http://www.samurai-warriors.com.
