Koei Tecmo has released new information, gameplay, and screenshots of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence, its upcoming strategy game due out for PlayStation 4 via retail, and PlayStation 3 and PC digitally on September 1 in North America and September 4 in Europe.
After the decade-long Ōnin War (1467-1477) ended without a clear victory, Japan fell into a state of constant war and conflict. With the power of the shogunate in tatters and the emperor relegated to a purely ceremonial role, local warlords known as daimyos fought over land and influence, hoping to reunify the nation under their power. It’s a romantic age, an era of change and turmoil in which a newly found meritocracy subverted a social order previously seen as untouchable. Amidst the might of tradition, the chaos of treachery and the smell of gunpowder, laid the opportunity to forever define a country and set its future for centuries to come.
Koei Tecmo releases new trailers of two of its latest strategy games that will release for Switch in Japan to bolster the launch line-up of the console.
I need both these games on my Switch. I'll rebuy any PS4 exclusives coming to the system just for the portability
Pure PlayStation: Koei Tecmo’s entry for longest title of 2016, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence – Ascension (hereafter referred to as NA: SOIA), released at the end of October on PS4. Our reviewer has spent the past few weeks delving deep into the campaigns of this historical grand-strategy title to bring you our review. Tortured metaphor incoming in 3, 2, 1… has Nobunaga’s ambition united the warring states of our opinion or does it overreach and fall dead on the march? We’re not sure what that means either, best join us below so we can explain.
