Warriors Orochi due this year.

KOEI's Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series are set to converge in Warriors Orochi, an ambitious crossover title for Xbox 360 and PS2, due out in the USA on 18th September.

Developed by KOEI's Omega Force outfit, it features 77 playable characters drawn from the two tactical action games, with four "crossover" storylines feeding the player events where characters from either face off against one another.

New mechanics include a three-person tag team "Team Battle System" that allows one character to fight while the other two recuperate, restoring life meters and Musou gauges, as well as "Weapon Fusion", which allows you to combine the attributes of different weapons to build new ones, logically.

You can see how it's shaping up in our Warriors Orochi screenshot gallery.

As they are both essentially the same game to start with and this will be about the 50th title in the series, is anyone still interested in it???

Who didn't see this coming?

Although an interesting premise, the historical time discrepancy is really putting me off.

I've never played Samurai Warriors, but it's set around the start of the Tokugawa shogunate, right? Which would put it about 1000 years after Dynasty Warriors. Some crossover ...

There's a time portal, people. A TIME PORTAL! I'll admit it's one of the most stupid get out clauses I've ever seen, but also allowed them to introduce some awesome characters, like the titular Orochi.

Plus there may not be much new, but what is there is good - I especially like the weapon fusion, meaning I can put all the rubbish weapons I get to good use by using them to upgrade my good weapons.
