Musou OROCHI Z

Warriors Orochi Z is a game Koei has announced for the Playstation 3. It is to be released in Japan March 13, 2009. It is not actually a new game but a revised version. It combines Warriors Orochi and Warriors Orochi 2 in a single game. No official confirmation has of yet been released about a localization of Warriors Orochi Z, but Gamefly has a listing for "Warriors Orochi: The Collective" which could very well be Warriors Orochi Z.

Overview
It's been confirmed to have two new characters, one of Yoshitsune Minamoto's subordinates, Musashibo Benkei, and a character from the Journey to the West, Xuanzang (made a woman in the game). The game is to have 12 new stages, more cutscenes, and Dodomekki and Gyuki as fully-playable characters.

The graphics and such will be upgraded to Playstation 3 level. Each player in 2P mode is now able to choose their own team of characters independent of the other player. There are also four possible costumes for each character.

Characters who weren't available in these games reportedly obtain a new look.
