Evaluation
SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 launched on July 26, 2021. All of its paid DLC — a Season Pass covering horses, weapon sets, additional scenarios, and BGM packs — shipped in two waves on August 5 and August 19, 2021, completing the full content offering within weeks of launch. All 18 DLC items in the store listing are marked as released, and the Season Pass (DLC-1) itself launched the day after the base game. The most recent developer communication attached to this game is a small bug-fix patch from August 19, 2021. Subsequent news posts from KOEI TECMO on the Steam page advertise entirely separate games (WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Ultimate Definitive Edition in July 2022, and SAMURAI WARRIORS 4 DX in May 2024), indicating no further development work has been done on SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 itself. With all announced DLC delivered, no unreleased content, no roadmap or future plans communicated, and no developer updates to the game since August 2021, the game is complete.

About this game
A new SAMURAI WARRIORS begins.
After a 7-year wait, a new instalment in the tactical action series "SAMURAI WARRIORS" is finally here!
With this title, the historical period depicted in the first title of the "SAMURAI WARRIORS" series released in 2004 has been revamped.
With visuals that have largely evolved since the first "SAMURAI WARRIORS", additional officers, and evolved actions, an even deeper drama set in the warring states is depicted.
Also, with a focus on the lives of officers Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi, in order to more intensely and boldly depict the warring states era spanning from the end of the Ōnin War to the Incident at Honnōji, the title is the beginning of a new series, in which the stories and characters from the traditional "SAMURAI WARRIORS" have been revamped.
Features of "SAMURAI WARRIORS 5"
■With officers whose designs have been revamped, as well as new officers, a total of 27 Samurai Warriors join the battle
Officers such as a young Nobunaga Oda, known as the "Great Fool", and daimyō Yoshimoto Imagawa, who was called the "Greatest Archer in all of Kaidō", appear with new designs that match the setting of this title.
Also, new officers such as Toshimitsu Saitō, a retainer of Mitsuhide Akechi, as well as Kōga ninja Mitsuki join the battle. A total of 27 Samurai Warriors interweave their fates to create a dramatic warring states era.
■WARRIORS actions are more thrilling and dazzling than ever before
In this title, players can once again enjoy the "thrill of sending enemies flying" that the WARRIORS series is renowned for.
And with new actions that have been added with this title, as well as new depictions that give off a Japanese flair, the WARRIORS actions have become even more stunning.
Note: The "SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 Digital Deluxe Edition" is also available. Please be careful when making your purchase.
With the Trial version, you can play the earlier portions of the story.
Save data from the Trial version can be carried over to the retail version of the game.
※In order to transfer your save file from the Trial version, you will need to ensure your game is up to date with the latest patch.
