EA to Distribute Samurai Warriors

The Dynasty Warriors-inspired game to be published under Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts announced today that it has signed a North American distribution agreement with Koei for Samurai Warriors. Developed by Omega Force, Koei's internal development team, the game is essentially Dynasty Warriors set in feudal Japan.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Electronic Arts for the distribution of Samurai Warriors," said Amos Ip, Vice-President of Sales & Marketing for Koei. "Backed by EA's unparalleled distribution reach and first-rate marketing, this exceptional game has the opportunity to reach and move, millions of people."

"With its fervent action, storied narrative and top quality production values, Samurai Warriors is an outstanding addition to the EA Partners distribution catalogue," said John Riccitiello, President and Chief Operating Office of Electronic Arts. "We are thrilled to be working with KOEI to deliver this masterful game to a mass audience."

Some features that set the game apart from the Dynasty Warriors series are interior levels, seasonal and day changes, and a more fleshed out custom character development system. Samurai Warriors will be available sometime in May.
