Now Playing: Samurai Warriors 5 First Mission Gameplay
No other details about the demo where provided. Some Twitter users have found workarounds to get access to the Japanese version of the demo, which is allegedly available to download.
Samurai Warriors 5 is the latest title in the franchise. The last entry was 2014’s Samurai Warriors 4, which saw a revision in 2015 with Samurai Warriors 4-II and the usual Empires expansion in 2016.
Samurai Warriors was birthed as a spin-off of the Dynasty Warriors series, a collection of hack-and-slash games that center Chinese history and the Three Kingdoms historical period. Samurai Warriors is the sister to Dynasty Warriors, focusing on Japan’s Sengoku period instead.
Samurai Warriors 5 drops worldwide on July 27 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Preorders are now live. The game also has a Season Pass (included in the Deluxe Edition) that adds more missions, background music, weapons, and horses.
