Warriors Orochi 3 to feature Tecmo Koei guest characters

The latest Famitsu has revealed three "guest" characters in Musou crossover title Warriors Orochi, sourced from other Tecmo Koei titles.

KOEI Warriors has a quick snap of the magazine page in question, showing Ninja Gaiden protagonist Ryu Hayabusa, courtesy of Team Ninja.

Legendary Greek hero Achilles will be playable, following his role in the KOEI Canada-developed Warriors: Legends of Troy.

Finally, Jeanne d'Arc will make an appearance, thanks to her prominent role in early PlayStation 3 title Bladestorm, which was produced under the mantle of the core Musou team.

Warriors Orochi 3 - confusingly called Warriors Orochi 2 in Japanese - is the next entry in Omega Force's cross-over series, which brings together characters from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors franchises, along with original and mythologically-inspired personages.

No Western release has been nominated.
