Tecmo Koei America Releases Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper
BURLINGAME, Calif. – November 16,
in the year of our Lord 2012 – The largest assembly of Warriors
ever! Today TECMO KOEI America announced that the hotly
anticipated action game WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Hyper will be
available at retailers nationwide this Sunday, November 18th for
the launch of the Wii U™. WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Hyper combines the
much loved heroes of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors
series in a story that also features characters from other
franchises, as well as brand new characters!
Years after the battle against Orochi, the Serpent King, the
heroes of the Three Kingdoms and the Warring States struggle to
seize control of the new universe they were thrown into when a
new threat arises! A terrible and colossal monster, resembling a
serpent with eight heads, casts its shadow across the land and
defeats most of the brave warriors.
The ones that survived, assisted by the mysterious Kaguya,
travel back through time to save fallen heroes and forge new
alliances, collect powerful weapons and build an army so they
can have a chance to defeat the terrible Hydra.
The features of WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Hyper include:
· Huge cast of playable characters: More than 130 playable
characters from the worlds of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai
Warriors. But that is not all that you’ll have at your disposal
this time, as the vortex created by Orochi drags a few more
allies to their universe. Dragon Ninja Ryu Hayabusa, Achilles,
Jeanne d'Arc, Nemea, and Ayane are only a few of the new
additions to the playable character roster! WARRIORS OROCHI 3
Hyper also includes exclusive new characters Momiji and Rachel
(from the Ninja Gaiden series), Seimei Abe and Shennong which
are brand new additions to the Orochi roster.
Unlock abilities and influence the storyline through the bond
system: The bonds between characters can be increased by
interaction in banquets, fighting together as allies, rescuing
struggling allies, and accepting then clearing missions in
battles. These bonds can influence the storyline, as well as
unlock extra attacks and new stages.
Customize scenarios and share them online for all to enjoy:
Cleared stages from Story Mode or Free Mode can be edited to
create unique battlefields, where players can change voice lines
and characters, acquire Musou Battlefield Elements in Story Mode
and use them to add even more interesting new aspects to their
original battlefields. Then rate scenarios created by others and
see how your scenarios stack up.
New “Duel Mode”: An all new “Duel Mode” fuses elements of player
versus player and card battles into intense combat for player
vs. COM battles, or online battles against your friends.
Wii U GamePad™ compatible: Choose from two ways to play local
two player co-op. Play using the TV and the Wii U GamePad™
screen, or play using standard split screen on your TV.
“The release of WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Hyper gives fans the biggest
cast of characters to play on the new Wii U,” said Amos Ip, SVP
and General Manager of TECMO KOEI America. “With a new versus
‘Duel Mode’, in-depth upgrade and bond systems, and customizable
and shareable scenarios, WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Hyper is packed with
content for Tecmo Koei fans.”
