Samurai Warriors 5

Samurai Warriors 5 (戦国無双5, Sengoku Musou 5) is the fifth main entry in the Samurai Warriors series. Announced on the February 17th Nintendo Direct of 2021, the game is slated for a summer 2021 release. This installment is designed to be a revamp of the Samurai Warriors series, with character designs, visuals, and interactions vastly overhauled from previous incarnations.

Story Mode
The story mode this time around will have a heavy focus on Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi. The story is heavily inspired by the original title and takes it a step further as it will end at Honnōji instead of covering the Toyotomi and Tokugawa reigns like the rest of the series has.

It was confirmed that Samurai Warriors 5 will have 27 playable characters.
