If you haven’t followed the Warriors Orochi series, Dynasty Warriors’ Samurai-themed cousin, then you might still be interested in the upcoming Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate which features Sophitia Alexandra of Soul Calibur-fame (well, before she was “killed off” in Soul Calibur V) and Sterk, one in a a long line of pretty boys in the sedate Atelier series.

In addition there’ll be three original new characters: Nehza, Yinglong and Tamamono. Nehza, who is a “is a young officer from the Mystic Realm, born in the area that overlapped the realms of humans and mystics. His skill in got him accepted to the Mystic Army, but he lives to test himself in the most difficult battles he can find, and he freely wields his Fire Spear in action, no matter what situation he might encounter.”

Yinglong is “is an officer from the Mystic Realm’s ancient past. He fought […] alongside Fu Xi and the other mystics against the demon hordes and is highly esteemed by his peers and an inspiration for his subordinates. Conversely, his sense of honesty leads him to never question the position of others, and he simply follows his convictions, which makes him somewhat inflexible at times.”

And finally, Tamamono who is “a bewitching mystic that appeared following the defeat of the Hydra. She has a very high opinion of herself and harbors a deep hatred for humans. Tamamo thrives on the chaos and negativity that a world at war can bring. By using the inscriptions on her scroll, she is able to interfere with the efforts of the humans and appears to have teamed up with Da Ji in order to carry out some mysterious plot”.

Warriors Orochi 3 was originally released in 2012 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii U. The expanded Ultimate edition includes the content from the original release, the aforementioned additional characters, and an expanded story, and will be released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS Vita .
