Official site: http://www.samuraiwarriors2.co.uk/ KOEI today announced the release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI and Samurai Warriors 2 on PC. Following on from the release of Warriors Orochi on PC earlier this year KOEI continues to bolster its PC line up with some in depth strategy from the award winning Romance of the Three Kingdoms series and spectacular battlefield action from the multi-million selling Warriors series. Samurai Warriors 2 will be available to buy on June 27, 2008 in Europe and Q2, 2008 in North America. “We’re constantly striving to bring our games to as wide an audience as possible and our move into the PC arena is a very important step for KOEI in Europe.” Said Will Curley, Sales Manager. “The PC is an integral part of the games industry and we look forward to entertaining PC gamers with our unique brand of action and strategy. Games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms are perfectly suited to the PC with its mouse control and an environment where deep tactical gaming is so fondly appreciated. Samurai Warriors 2 on the other hand gives PC gamers the chance to experience an incredible series that has been entertaining console gamers worldwide with sales of over 15 million to date.” About SAMURAI WARRIORS 2 For anyone who thought attacks couldn’t get much more devastating or more spectacular than the fully charged Musou think again! Samurai Warriors 2 now gives you the chance to max out your Musou gauge not once, not twice but three times. This adds an exciting new element of strategy as players can choose between saving up their Musou potential until the awesome power of a three bar attack has been reached or using what you have at the time to get yourself out of a sticky situation. It’s now up to the player whether they can resist the urge to unleash their Musou for a quick explosion of power and wait for the ultimate in devastating battlefield power and pyrotechnics. Extra spice has been added to the massed battles with the addition of a greater variety of enemy forces. Visually the troops will present a much more diverse spectacle so that different soldiers can be easily recognized and react with a multitude of additional animations. These more varied enemies will also offer greater diversity in attack with different squads preferring to attack in their own particular style making encounters far less predictable. Levelling up has always been a big part of the Samurai Warriors experience but not until now have players been able to level up within a particular level. No longer will you have to wait until a mission has been completed to benefit from your characters newly acquired abilities. Now you can witness the benefits immediately and unleash your new abilities without any pause in the action. However, it is not only through your combat abilities on the battlefield that you will be rewarded with an even stronger, more able warrior. You now have greater choice in just how you boost your character’s skills by also being able to level up by stealing from enemy officers under specific conditions and purchasing abilities with any gold you’ve managed to accumulate. A brand new mode called Sugoroku is added to the usual array of play modes and challenges in the shape of a traditional board game. Except this board game isn’t just about rolling dice and moving pieces from square to square. Every single place on the board hides a specific challenge or battle that players will have to engage in in order to take control of that particular square. Up to four players can take part in this mode and it should provide a lengthy challenge as it combines elements of everything from within Samurai Warriors 2 all wrapped up within one totally unique board game experience. Key Features § 26 playable characters in all! 10 new warriors are ready for battle including the legendary Musashi Miyamoto, the unifier of Japan Ieyasu Tokugawa, and the enigmatic ninja Kotaro Fuma. § Brand new fighting techniques for each warrior add much more depth to the battles. Set traps, summon ninja decoys, and more! § For the first time players have the ability to power up their Musou gauge up to three times for some truly spectacular and awesomely powerful attacks! § Now castle warfare blends seamlessly with field combat. Take control of castles on the battlefield to gain a significant morale advantage. § Experience new tales in Story, Free, and Survival modes. Team up with friends for two-player Co-op play or compete with them at “Sugoroku,” a bonus party game for up to four players. § Over 70 cinematic sequences supervised by Shinsuke Sato, director of the cult hit, “The Princess Blade” and new music from fusion artist Minoru Mukaiya. |

This topic isn't really buzzing it seems.. Okay, so no new feature added then. The only difference being slightly better graphics? |

Well, it sounds like the exact same thing of nearly 2 years ago happening again, I can't say I'm overly excited about it. Although, can you play the PC games online in 2 player mode with a mate on the other side of the world? That's something I've never looked into. |

It's for PC gamers though, that's why we're not excited at all... It's all about the money, KOEI! |

KOEI could have added Xtreme Legends in one game, maybe calling it Samurai Warriors 2 special... Strange move by KOEI, and honestly, I don't think this game will sell very much... |

If Koei really wanted to make money then why didn't they released the game on PC when the game (SW2) actually came out on PS2 and etc.....I don't really think the PC gamers will be interested in this game now since WO came out and WO2 soon will came out..... |

That's basically it. Even I cannot be bothered to advertize this worthless attempt. They will probably even lose some money by making the game and not selling it as well. 1. Most fans have SW2 2. A bit too late I must say... I posted in this topic because I felt sorry for it... and to hope for new features... |

Hmm, very true. If it was at least a compilation of SW2 & SW2XL for something coming out much later then the original titles it would be much more appealing. I can say I definately won't be buying this one. The new ROTK however...maybe, I've never been able to get one of them before. If a PC game is at least giving the PAL side of the world access to it where we originally could not I see more value in it. I just don't see the point of redoing something exactly the same as the original. At least PSP remakes are a bit different. |

Yeah it's all about the schedule error, see how SW2XL delay and see how many "Warriors" titles in the year of 2007-2008. It's all Warriors and no new big games apart for the 8-months delayed Bladestorm. No new Kessen, no news for Ni-OH, no new Dynasty Tactics. It's all Warriors games in 2007-2008 (people couldn't even finish them all) so it's the time schedule problem and also the money grabbing tricks for this. Chinese people are so excited about this: http://game.ali213.net/thread-2043298-1-1.html They now can't wait to do the modding lol! |

But if they want to do the modding, I think Warriors Orochi PC is good enough >.< |

Yeah true, i forgot about that, i don't really pay attention to the PC releases... Maybe Koei should like release a game on all platforms at once instead of the PC years later.... |

Now there's a big argument in here - http://game.ali213.net/viewthread.php?tid=...8&extra=&page=5 Because we announced the news before Japan. Almost all of them think it's fake and they think I did the photoshop on the screens... O.O How come!! |

These PC ports are awesome news, because it means being able to play them at much higher resolutions and textures and more guys onscreen. |

Any SW2XL features in it? I know DW5S had DW5XL features in it... so... because if SW2PC didn't have any XL features, it would be really really old. |

I agree, I'd only buy the PC version if it has 2XL automatically in it. |

As far as has been revealed, no. It still remains a possibility albeit a very small one. |
