Tecmo Koei pushed the release date of Warriors Orochi 3 back one week from March 20 to March 27 for North America. Europe also has to wait an extra week for the hack and slash game since it has been rescheduled for April 6 in PAL territories.
In addition to a hodgepodge of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors generals, Warriors Orochi 3 has crossover characters – Joan of Arc from Bladestorm, Achilles from Warriors: Legends of Troy, Nemea from Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll, Ayane from Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden, and Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden.
While Warriors Orochi 3 will be a retail game for PS3 and Xbox 360 in Europe, physical copies are only for Xbox 360 in North America. Warriors Orochi 3 will be released as a PSN download for an unspecified price here.
A tip of the hat to Throne for the heads up. Thanks!
