Samurai Warriors 3

Samurai Warriors 3 (戦国無双3, Sengoku Musou 3) is a recently announced sequel in the Samurai Warriors franchise slated to be released at the end of December 2009 in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom (according to IGN). So far, it has only been announced as a Wii exclusive.

Characters
In a teaser trailer shown at TGS, four shadowy characters were shown, with many holding the belief that they were new characters. Nobunaga Oda also appeared at the end in his SW2 costume. The teaser can be viewed here.

Kunoichi, who wasn't included in Samurai Warriors 2, has been hinted by her former voice actor to appear. In her online resume, the voice actor lists her role as Kunoichi in Samurai Warriors 3. However, this has not yet been confirmed by KOEI, so the information is not considered completely accurate.

So far Koei has officially confirmed three returning characters:
 * Yukimura Sanada
 * Masamune Date
 * Nobunaga Oda
