Today the western arms of Koei Tecmo released two English trailers of their upcoming Musou game Touken Ranbu Warriors.
The first trailer shows the features of the game, including battle, the easier difficulty mode, minigames, and the familiar damage system inspired by Touken Ranbu Online.
We also hear that Akiko Shikata performs three new songs for the game, with the trailer featuring the opening “Color Barrage.” The two ending songs will be titled “Honor” and “Time”.
The second introduces the Touken Danshi of the first team.
You can check them all out below.
Here’s how Koei Tecmo officially describes Touken Ranbu Warriors.
You can also enjoy a series of character trailers showing off several Touken Danshi, on top of Ichigo Hitofuri, Namazuo Toushirou, Hyuuga Masamune, Heshikiri Hasebe, Yagen Toushirou, Tomoegata Naginata, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and Shokudaikiri Mitsutada.
If you’re not familiar with the game, it was announced back in August by DMM and it’ll come west directly via Koei Tecmo on May 24, 2022. Touken Ranbu is a popular franchise based on a PC browser game mostly aimed at an audience of ladies in which the player travels to the past and collects legendary swords represented by handsome young men.
The franchise has sparked multiple anime series, a live-action movie, and other media.
This new game is developed by Omega Force, known for its work on Warriors games, and Ruby Party, Koei Tecmo’s otome games brand (Otome games are visual novels usually featuring harems of handsome men aimed to an audience of ladies, like Touken Ranbu).
At the moment, the game appears to be coming only for Switch in the west, the PC version in Japan uses DMM’s own client which is not available in North America and Europe.
