Another day of exciting news for fans of the Samurai Warriors franchise. This time Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have released new information and screenshots of Samurai Warriors 5, introducing the Citadel Mode, the Vault, My Castle and more.

We’ve got all the details and screenshots below:

■ Modes

Citadel Mode

When playing this sub-mode, Citadel Mode, you can collect resources that can be used to upgrade the various buildings in the My Castle menu. Battles in Citadel Mode consist of the player protecting their base and defending against approaching enemies or defeating them. Many missions will appear throughout the battle and completing them will result in a score based on the time it takes to finish the battle.

In Citadel mode, troops are used instead of items. The different troops you summon will unleash a strong attack and then stay in place and defend against invading enemies.

As characters engage in battle together, their friendship level will increase. If their friendship levels are at their maximum, you will be able to watch special scenes that do not appear in Musou mode in the Hermit’s Retreat.

Vault

The Vault allows players to check their game log and completed missions, as well as view event scenes, listen to BGM songs and learn more about the history of Samurai Warriors in the Biographies section.
