How long do you think it'll be before Warriors Orochi 4? I'm hoping not long after DW9.

Not for a while.

I'm not expecting DW9 till 2016, SW5 in 2017.

I don't see WO4 ever being made due to the amount of characters, 13 new characters from SW4/SW4-2 and 16 from DW8/XL/Empires plus all new Mystics/Demons + Other franchise characters plus a new story and fitting everyone in... I just don't see it :(

That's a bummer, it's sad that we may never see characters like Da Ji and Seimei Abe in any game beyond WO3 unless Koei decides to adopt the the Mystics and Demon characters into the the DW and SW series, which would be a mess. :sad:

Either never, or in a span of 3-5 years. Besides, the more characters there are, the less chances that an English dub will be possible. WO3 and its expansions proved it.

I hope WO4 (Musou orochi 3) for this year.

Well, it's quite complicated to estimate.

First, have a look at franchise history (based on japanese names, where Warriors Orochi 3 is actually Musou Orochi 2) :
- Orochi 1 - mars 2007
- PSP/PC port - mars 2008
- Orochi 1 - Mao Sairin (aka WO2) - 2008
- Orochi Z - march 2009 on PS3, november on PC
_That's it for Musou Orochi 1_
- Orochi 2 - november 2011
- Orochi 2 Special - July 2012
- Orochi 2 Hyper - July 2012
- Orochi 2 Ultimate - September 2013

So Musou Orochi 1 had a 3 years lifetime, then 2 years waiting.
And Orochi 2 had a 3 years lifetime as well.
So if you consider this, the logical answer would be : late 2015.

However Koei likes to celebrate 10th anniversary of their franchises. And this would be in 2017.
So let's say Musou Orochi 3/Warriors Orochi 4 release could probably be somewhere between 2015 and 2017.

From my personal point of view,
they "teased" DW9 release for this year, by saying 2015 is DW franchise 15th anniversary.
So, in my opinion the schedule could be as follow
- DW9 in summer/fall 2015
- DW9XL in spring 2016
- WO4 in fall 2016

This is for my previsional Japanese release date.

While WO3U is still quite a fresh game, I think they could pull off a WO4 now that both DW and SW have had their next main game and the related expansions. Basically the total amount of new characters from those games alone would be:
- 10+5+1 from DW8/XL/E
- 9+1 from SW4/-II

That's 26 in total. Obviously, we'll probably get new Mystic and Guest characters which means the total amount of playable characters would be between 170-180, assuming everyone from WO3U returns (I'm not sure if they are allowed to have the guest characters appear again, though).

Actually there are 12+1 from SW.
I know that Naotora Ii, Takatora Todo and Munenori Yagyu, are not exactly "new"; but in a possible WO4 would be their first appearance


Regarding guest characters; technically they are all owned (somehow) byKoei-Tecmo, then there should be no problems. The only exception is Sophitia from Soul Calibur

Good point, I forgot all about the Chronicles trio. So yes, Naotora, Takatora and Munenori will most likely appear as well.

If Sophitia is not Koei-Tecmo's property, does that mean she won't appear in the next game?

Soul Calibur is a Namco game; the only way Sophitia could reappear in WO, would be paying for the rights to Namco

different matter for other guests; the cast of DOA/NG is owned originally by Tecmo which is now merged with Koei

Nemea, Joan of Arc and Achilles are originally characters from Koei games

Sterkenburg is Gust property and Gust is a subsidiary of Koei-Tecmo

I hope the series is dead because it's getting super lame.

It seems they want to resurrect Orochi as many times as DW series - with same-same-but-different method, of course.

Ummm I think KOEI should just leave this series be for a while, concentrate on "core" DW and SW first. Maybe 2020 LOL who knows.

If we're talking about the story, then I agree. But then again, who really cares if they resurrect him again? I'm sure that only a handful of people here actually play the game just for the story in this series.

If they can't come up with any other ideas than resurrecting Orochi once again, fine. And like Kuponuts already stated, it's called Warriors Orochi for a reason.

It's the whole crossover thing and huge amount of playable characters that make this spin-off series awesome.

I agree, I started the Warriors Orochi series as it was a crossover between Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors and also you can be 3 people at the same time, I do not really care for the story by itself but I do care for it a bit but I am not bored of Orochi getting resurrected.

I personality think that they should back to fraction sections like they did in Warriors Orochi 1 and 2 and end with combining force in last stage. Seeing them although from the start to end is very messy and I felt like they rush it, although I'll admit some of the stages are really good for gaining more experience points.

It might be me, but this is slowly getting a bit messy for massive characters.

I think we should get something for WO4 in this year and the game should be released next year. Because we already got DW8,DW8XL and DW8: Empires. We also got SW4 & SW4.2. So we only need SW4: Empires. After SW4 Empires we should get WO4 already.
We don't need DW9 or SW5 right now. We also didn't get bored of the SW4 & DW5 costumes. So KOEI should use them as the latest costumes in WO4.

the only things I'd want are the SWC2 characters with their SWC2 movesets, and no DW8 or SW4 characters.

It's really hard to say when we should expect the next WO4. Logically it would seem pretty soon considering there are no current Warriors games announced that haven't already been released plus now DW8 has finished it's cycle and SW4 has already been released along with an expansion so it would seem like the right time.

I don't really see what the next Warriors game to be announced could be besides either DW9 or WO4 but since Koei apparently wants to revamp the DW series I think we may not expect to see anything till later his year, maybe Tokyo Game Show or something. The only other thing that leaves us expecting until then, which would be until October or so, is a new Orochi game. Unless they wanna try something new but I doubt that will happen.

Only problem is that once you include the new DW and SW characters as well as a the likely few new Mystics or guest characters you've got a roster with well over 150 characters, that's insane! As much as I love WO I honestly don't see how it's possible to make it work with that many characters. I think the better idea is to start a new sort of crossover series but either have no guests and Mystics or very very few.

^It's actually over 170 characters, and that's without even considering any brand new characters like Mystics or Guests.

And we most likely get DW9's announcement within a few moments like already implied by one of the producers in that recent interview.

They want to revamp DW as a series, they will focus on that first and then see where it takes them. SW as a cast now have all sorts of new attacks added to their arsenals, we will have to wait and see what DW gets but either way they will need to completely overhaul Orochi as a series to accommodate all these new movesets and mechanics and its not overdue either.

What i can safely say is when they do release WO4 it will be strictly for the newest gen consoles only, hopefully not just the PS4 either.
