Experience an all-new gripping narrative in the latest installment of the one-versus-thousands Warriors Orochi action game series, and face an unfamiliar mystical threat with a new arsenal of magic.

The latest in Koei Tecmo’s dynamic crossover series features characters from Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and the gods of ancient history joining together in an all-out fight against swarms of enemies as they seek answers to why they were reunited to battle in this mysterious new world. All-star characters and fan favorites from past Koei Tecmo games, like Joan of Arc, join the Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate cast; boosting the number of playable characters from Warriors Orochi 4’s staggering 170, to the eye-popping new count of 177. One of the most significant new characters is the Mother Earth goddess, Gaia, who created numerous lands at the beginning of time and now looks to unite our heroes in an effort to help save the world.

In addition, new storylines from Warriors Orochi 4 will also be explored. What led Zeus to form the anti-Odin coalition? What happened to the officers who were sent to investigate the enemy forces? Discover the truth while unlocking the all-new True Ending to the saga with the gods. Add in new game modes, including the multi-layered maps of Infinity Mode, and fantastical new magical abilities and Sacred Treasures, and it’s no question that Omega Force is delivering fans the definitive Warriors Orochi 4 experience.


Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate enlists gamers to take on the Trial of Zeus in the all-new Infinity mode. Warriors will take a three-player party on this harrowing adventure as they attempt to clear the trials of the 12 towers, with dungeons representing each sign of the zodiac. As they clear each trial, gamers will earn experience points, unlock characters, and strengthen weapons through battle -- combating tougher and tougher enemies with each advancement up the tower.

The more you play as certain characters, either through Infinity mode or through the game’s main story, the more you’ll be able to rank up certain abilities. In Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate, a character who has been raised to level 100 will return to a rank of 1, enabling you to further strengthen them and expand their skill tree. Promotion can be performed a total of 10 times, empowering you to boost favorite characters to the limit, creating the ultimate warriors to take on Odin’s mysterious army. In addition, the powerful Sacred Treasures can now be interchanged among characters. In the past, this was fixed for each individual, but in Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate, you can now play with your favorite combination of magic, unleashing fierce combinations like never before.

Also new in Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is Yang Jian’s special ability to deify in battle. Until now, deification could only be used by characters who are selected for eight special bracelets. In Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate, Yang Jian can deify without using a bracelet, opening the eye on his forehead and unleashing a unique magical spell. While spinning his weapon, his divine canine, Xiaotian, becomes enveloped in water, running in circles to generate a whirlpool to take out any enemy who steps in its way.

Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate will be available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) in February 14, 2020 as both a standalone title for those who haven’t yet experienced Warriors Orochi 4, or as a special Upgrade Pack for those who already own the previous game.
