Samurai Warriors 4, known in Japan as Sengoku Musou 4 (戦国無双4 Sengoku Musō Fō?), is a hack and slash game by Tecmo Koei, and sequel to Samurai Warriors 3.
The game was made to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the series. While the game was confirmed to be in development for the PlayStation 3 as early as 2012, it was not until the SCEJA Press Conference in September 2013 that the game was officially announced, with a version for PlayStation Vita in addition to PlayStation 3, and was released on March 20, 2014 in Japan, while a PlayStation 4 port followed on September 4, 2014. It was also released in North America on October 21, 2014 and Europe on October 24, 2014.
A revised version, Samurai Warriors 4-II (戦国無双4-II Sengoku Musō Fō Tsu?) was released on February 11, 2015 in Japan and was released in North America on September 29, 2015, and in Europe on October 2, 2015, but it does not contain the original stories from Samurai Warriors 4. A second expansion, Samurai Warriors 4: Empires (戦国無双4 Empires Sengoku Musō Fō Emupaiyāzu?) was released in Japan on September 17, 2015 and in North America and Europe in 2016.
