Koei Tecmo’s seminal strategy epic arrives on PS5/Switch 2 with unprecedented scale. The Complete Edition renders 5,000-unit battles in 4K/60fps (PS5) and dynamic 1440p/30fps (Switch 2 docked), featuring enhanced physics for castle destruction and arrow volleys. New “Warscape Lighting” dynamically shifts from dawn sieges to moonlit diplomacy scenes, while motion-captured daimyo performances convey Oda Nobunaga’s ambition through subtle micro-expressions. “We scanned Edo-period armor for authentic material rendering,” says Art Director Kenichi Ogasawara. Six new scenarios include the climactic Battle of Okehazama with reactive weather altering troop morale.
