Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force have shared the Samurai Warriors 5 theme song trailer, featuring the song “One Nation” by Japanese boy band EXILE.

“My approach to this song was to try and add even more beauty into the world of SAMURAI WARRIORS,” said EXILE lead songwriter Shokichi Yagi. “I tried to express the exciting and lively aspects of the story, while at the same time adding the duality of the underlying emotional aspects to create a melody that was also sorrowful. I am very honored for this opportunity to create a song for a series with such a long history.”

Here’s the Samurai Warriors 5 theme song trailer:

Koei Tecmo also confirmed a fourth Samurai Warriors 5 livestream, which is set for May 27th at 9 PM Japan time – and you’ll be able to watch it live via YouTube.

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Koei Tecmo:

SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 introduces a re-imagined experience – from the visuals to the storyline – to open the curtain on an all-new SAMURAI WARRIORS series. The electrifying 1 vs. 1,000 tactical action game is currently under development for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System (playable on PlayStation®5 via Backward Compatibility), the Xbox One consoles (playable on Xbox Series X|S via Backward Compatibility), and Windows PC via Steam®, and is set to launch across North America on July 27, 2021.

SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 takes place after the end of the Ōnin War, during the Sengoku period, and tells the story of two of the most preeminent military commanders of this period – Nobunaga Oda, and Mitsuhide Akechi. This title includes various eras from this period, including the younger years of Nobunaga, when he was known as “Owari’s Great Fool,” and the period of turmoil and upheaval leading to the Honnō-ji Incident.

All of the game’s character designs have been completely redesigned and re-imagined to help fit the storyline’s Sengoku time period. In total, SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 features 27 playable characters, including both new and returning warriors, from Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hideyoshi Hashiba to Nō, and Yoshimoto Imagawa. Original character Mitsuki – a Kōga Ninja, has also been added, with other new characters to be announced at a later date.

In addition, all-new Musou actions have been added to the series – including newly designed Musou Frenzy Attacks – elevating the thrill of blowing away hordes of enemy soldiers in exhilarating fashion. These actions are displayed in a vibrant new Japanese ink painting art style, elegantly evolving the SAMURAI WARRIORS series to showcase the Sengoku period in stunning fashion as the intertwining stories of Nobunaga and Mitsuhide unravel on screen like a Sengoku period picture scroll.

Samurai Warriors 5 was previously confirmed for a July 27th launch for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game will also be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility.
