You got musou in my roguelite! You got roguelite in my musou!Hot off the heels of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, another Koei Tecmo game is out today, putting a new spin on the musou genre. Warriors: Abyss is a new roguelite starring the famous faces of the Warriors games, and it’s out today.
Revealed during today’s PlayStation State of Play, Warriors: Abyss lets you assemble a squad of characters and slash through wave after wave of enemies. It’s got an isometric camera, reminiscent of both Diablo and the Greek pantheon-centered roguelite, Hades.
It looks like you’ll assemble a team to fight through the forces of “hell”, fighting some demonic enemies along the way. Characters from across the Warriors games were shown in today’s footage, including Zhou Yu, Nobunaga Oda, and Sunshang Xiang.
Per the PlayStation Blog, each character can be recruited and added to your team over time, giving you additional summoning actions to call upon. Players can use up to seven active heroes in battle, and a pool of 100 warriors will be available on launch today.
Koei Tecmo plans to add more new characters over time, starting with some from the Jin kingdom in Dynasty Warriors. The developer teased more waves after that, and said “there might even be characters outside of the Warriors series” joining the game later on.
Warriors: Abyss is out today on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It’s also coming to Nintendo Switch on February 13, 2025. Those who want an in-game Dynasty Warriors Costume Set should pick it up before March 14, 2025.
