Warriors Orochi 3 -- Tecmo Koei's hack n' slash equivalent to Super Smash Bros. -- has been confirmed for release in Europe and North America. UK community manager Chin Soon Sun made the announcement via Twitter, and said that more details will arrive later.
The upcoming game will mash Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors together, but will also include playable characters from Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, Bladestorm, Zill O'll, and Warriors: Legends of Troy. It'll be coming to both Xbox 360 and PS3.
Game looks huge, and I am very excited for it. Fun times!

I just wish they would announce the release date for this game already so I can get my Pre-order on.
Awesome news.
now give us Samurai Warriors 3Z please!!!!!!
I read Chin's post too but it left room for interpretation. (Though it's nice he was friendly enough to respond to me. Seems like a swell guy despite being very secretive!)
Gawd I hope you're right! I want My Ayane,Ryu,Joan Of Arch triple threat cheese burger so badly. It burns in meh loins!
It's my fervent wish WO3 will hit both Europe and North America shores but I'm kinda "afraid" on account sometimes only one or the other gets the meat tossed under the table!
