Koei Tecmo has released a new set of Arslan: The Warriors of Legend screenshots showcasing newly confirmed characters Kishward and Alfreed.
Additionally, the images offer another look at the game’s combat system. The “Charge Shift” action will allow players to switch between weapons during combo attacks and chain combos longer than usual. In traditional Warriors games, you can chain a combo of about five to six normal and Charge Attacks, but through Arlsan‘s Charge Shift, by switching weapons while connecting combos, you can chain up to 14. The last attack of your combo will be a flash “Finish Attack.” If you defeat an enemy using Charge Shift, you’ll gain more experience and might even get rare item drops.
You’ll also get a look at “Skill Cards,” which are how you’ll strengthen your characters. You can acquire new Skill Cards by defeating enemies and clearing scenarios, and then equip them to your characters. There are over 200 cards to collect, each with their own unique skill effects. Of course, this is an addition to leveling your characters traditionally.
Finally, you’ll see some new stages in the form of “Bashul Mountain,” “Kashan Fortress,” and “Peshawar Fortress.”
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is due out for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan on October 1, and in North America and Europe with an added Xbox One version in early 2016.
