We need a Nioh to save us
The last time I wrote about Musou Stars (an anniversary musou drawing from many Koei Tecmo properties), community member Enou wondered if we’d see Nioh‘s William Adams added to the roster. I figured they’d be correct, but wasn’t sure if William would be lucky enough to be part of the initial character line-up and instead relegated to DLC. But I’m glad to be wrong in this case.
Announced on a Nioh live-stream (and caught by Gematsu), Koei Tecmo announced William as the final character. Here’s the full Musou Stars line-up:
- Tamaki (Original character)
- Shiki (Original character)
- Setsuna (Original character)
- Zhao Yun – Dynasty Warriors
- Wang Yuanji – Dynasty Warriors
- Ouka – Toukiden
- Sophie – Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book
- Yukimura Sanada – Samurai Warriors
- Ryu Hayabusa – Ninja Gaiden
- Hajime Arima – Harukanaru Toki no Naka de
- Kasumi – Dead or Alive
- Millenia – Deception
- Plachta – Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book
- Mitsunari Ishida – Samurai Warriors

- Darius – Harukanaru Toki no Naka de
- Opoona – Opoona
- Marie Rose – Dead or Alive
- Honoka – Dead or Alive
- Rio – Rio

Musou Stars releases in Japan March 30th for PlayStation 4 and Vita. Fingers crossed for a Western release sooner rather than later.
