Samurai Warriors 4: Empires will add more strategic elements than ever, Koei claim, including a new “Resident Domestic Administrations” feature. There will also be a room where you can work on developments and issuing commands to the military commanders by configuring their placements, making it much easier than before.

The story of the game will advance as you take suggestions from military commanders, and depending on the affinity between the military commanders that have been placed in the battlefield, there will be different effects going on in the Resident Domestic Administrations.

Samurai Warriors 4: Empires’ concept is is “the ultimate land-conquering Musou,” but rather than being able to force your way through with powerful military commanders, it will be balanced in a way where you must carefully prepare everything through internal affairs before having the action take place.

The base of the game comes from Samurai Warriors 4-II. While there won’t be any new Musou commanders from the 56 that appears in Samurai Warriors 4-II, there will be over 100 female military commanders.

Additionally, the game will have marriage events, edit features, and more. Samurai Warriors 4: Empires will release in Japan on September 3, 2015 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita.
