Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate

Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate (無双OROCHI2 アルティメット) is a third re-release and sequel of Warriors Orochi 3 which continues from the original game's good ending. It includes all of the features seen within Hyper. Akihiro Suzuki returns as the producer and Youji Noda is director.

The Premium Box includes a complete soundtrack set for the Warriors Orochi series, CD sized character stickers of the entire playable cast, and postcards for the original characters designed by Akihiro Yamada. Pre-order bonuses will be a downloadable serial code for Halloween costumes and postcards for Kaguya, Mitsunari Ishida, and Zhao Yun. These characters were the most popular ones of the three series chosen by my GAMECITY users in a poll.

First print purchases comes with a downloadable serial code for DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Ultimate which unlocks collaboration costumes for Kasumi, Momiji and Ayane.

Changes

 * Additional scenarios will be included.
 * The Tale of the Latter Day - Takes place after Hydra's defeat.
 * The Tale of the Former Day - Explains Orochi's origins.
 * Various new side stories for the playable cast. These stories showcase characters who have few appearances in the main story arc.
 * Everyone has been tweaked to play slightly different than the original game ala Warriors Orochi 2. Strong characters have been weakened.
 * Includes new five-star weapons for the entire cast.
 * Characters can now carry four to six items instead of two. A separate slot is available for saddles.
 * All characters in a player's team can fight on the field simultaneously. Party members not directly under the player's control cannot regain lost health.
 * "Triple Rush", a stronger variation of Switch Combos, launches foes into the air for greater combo freedom. It is easier to cancel attacks using this skill.
 * "Midair Tie Up Action" is a new aerial R1 attack which drains a portion of the Musou gauge to use. The action performed is reliant on the user's type (Power, Speed, Technique, Wonder).
 * Technique types have a new ability: press while being attacked to shift behind the opponent.
 * Two players can activate their teams' Musou to have all six characters attack with a special energy effect. This is called "Shin Musou Burst".
 * Dynasty Warriors 8's version of horse whistling is present.
 * Character growth is influenced by weapon enhancements and character parameters, meaning that even maximum leveled characters can still be altered to a degree.
 * "Unlimited Mode" is a new addition focusing on a five man team. The overall goal is to have these characters overcome various trials to escape a multi-leveled dungeon. Co-op within this mode has two players control two characters within a single team with the freedom to swap with a single button tap; unused members are controlled by the AI. Weapons, levels, and experience earned within this mode can be kept for other modes.
 * Team formations are available in this mode. Effects for this ability are reliant on the character and composition of the players' party, but players gain special bonuses or techniques when these formations are activated by at least three characters in their team.
 * An option to further strengthen weaponry can be accessed within this mode via rare materials collected from treasure chests throughout the battlefield.
 * "Shin Musou Battlefields" is a renewal of the Musou Battlefields feature. Warriors now cost nothing to change, and in-battle quotes and notifications can be customized by players.
 * Samurai Warriors 3-like color editor is available to customize characters' appearances.
 * Downloadable content has been noted to appear but not confirmed yet. Save data and DLC from Warriors Orochi 3 can be transferred to Ultimate.
