Koei Tecmo Musou Series Producer Starts Warriors Games Poll

Omega Force’s Tomohiko Sho, who’s often worked as a director or producer on games in the Musou series, asked people’s thoughts on future Warriors games on his X social media account. Koei Tecmo’s official account then boosted it worldwide with an English translation and request to fill it out. Koei Tecmo and Sho both noted this is “not an official poll.” However, both noted it is for his reference.

The poll has four options, with two referencing the major, ongoing Musou series, the third going over other Warriors games, and the final one saying the person who responded doesn’t have any particular request. The first option suggests someone supports the Samurai Warriors series and would want more. That branch started in 2004 worldwide with the PS2 and Xbox game. The second one is a vote for Warriors Orochi, a crossover Musou series that primarily involves both Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. That started in 2007 on the PS2 and Xbox 360. The third is an option to support other Musou games. In that case, Koei Tecmo and Sho asked someone reply with a comment to his original poll to name the entry. 

Here’s the Tomohiko Sho poll: 

One of the most recent games to fall under the Musou banner, in a way, is Warriors: Abyss. It’s a roguelike offshoot that brings together characters from multiple Koei Tecmo series. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is also in development for the Switch 2. That has a “Winter” release window, but it’s unknown if that means it could debut in 2025 around December or in 2026 around February.
