A brand new entry in the Warriors franchise got a shadow drop during the PlayStation State of Play. Warriors: Abyss is a roguelike twist on the classic Musou series you can purchase right now on PlayStation 4 and 5.
Just a month after Dynasty Warriors: Origins released, Koei Tecmo is already launching another Warriors game, although this time it is transforming the genre into an isometric roguelike. The trailer showed off multiple characters fighting through endless masses of enemies with wide sweeping skills, magic, and attacks you would expect from the main series, only looking more like a Diablo game. Players will choose a character to battle through enemies within hell itself featuring randomly generated stages and items. Over 100 characters will be playable, but you will also recruit other heroes to join your team to summon into battle with up to 7 being active at once.

Additional characters will be released after launch, the first of which will be from the Jin kingdom of Dynasty Warriors.
The trailer promises “16,000,000” battle styles, which likely indicates the number of combinations possible between characters, party compositions, items, and other randomized elements within runs.
Warriors: Abyss is available in the Hack ‘n’ Dash Edition which includes 57 costumes and 3,000 Karma Embers or the Hack ‘n’ Dash Ultimate Edition that adds in 75 Dynasty Warriors classic costumes, 68 Samurai Warriors classic costumes, and 5,000 Karma Embers.
Warriors: Abyss is available now on PS4 and PS5.
