Koei Reveals More On Franchise Crossover News

First announced as part of their 2007 line-up, Koei has today lifted the lid on Warriors Orochi for Xbox 360 and PlayStation2.

The first crossover between the publisher's two biggest franchises, Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi sees over seventy-seven characters from both series team up to defeat the Serpent King Orochi - somehow this doesn't seem to suggest the ancient story of either China or Japan...

As well bringing the 'classic' Warriors franchise to the two consoles, Warriors Orochi also sees a tag-team system added, allowing gamers to create their own team of fighters.

"Warriors Orochi will introduce players to the most explosive Warriors action to date, and the most venomous enemy they may ever face, the evil Serpent King Orochi. So awesome are Orochi and his army that players will need the combined forces of history's greatest warriors to challenge them", said Amos Ip, senior vice-president of sales and marketing for KOEI Corporation. "In the game, we'll finally get to see and create some amazing team-ups, and we'll even witness long-awaited confrontations between characters from both franchises."
