In WARRIORS: Abyss, players control a hero summoned to Hell by Enma, the King of the Underworld, in a bid to defeat the devilish Gouma. In this title, players will dive into the abyss to try to reach the fourth level of Hell by fighting their way against hordes of infernal enemies and recruiting the souls of past heroes to their team. WARRIORS: Abyss introduces a new way to play a WARRIORS title by combining the exhilarating feeling of 1 vs. 1,000 action with roguelite elements, such as randomly generated stages and items, allowing for a unique experience each playthrough and countless hours of replayability.

While users will play as a single warrior, they will be able to recruit up to six additional heroes to assist them in battle using the “Summoning Heroes” action. Players will also be able to use the “Unique Tactics” of summoned heroes to inflict massive damage to their opponents and strengthen their team while exploring the unique characteristics of each summoned hero, allowing for more than 16 billion possible attack combinations.

In order to reach Gouma, players will have to navigate the realm by selecting the route they wish to take, bearing in mind the obstacles that await them. They can choose a dangerous path that generously rewards them, or a safer path in which they can buy restorative items. Each new attempt to reach the fourth level of Hell will be different, featuring randomly generated heroes, items and routes, allowing players to deploy new strategies to conquer the Underworld.

New characters will be available for free after the launch of WARRIORS: Abyss. The first update will include heroes from the Jin Kingdom of the DYNASTY WARRIORS’s series, while future updates may include characters from outside of the WARRIORS series.

In addition to the standard and Deluxe Editions, the “Hack’n’Dash Edition” is also available. It includes the base game, as well as 200 costumes from both the DYNASTY WARRIORS and SAMURAI WARRIORS series.

Everyone who purchases WARRIORS: Abyss before 14th March 2025 will receive the “DYNASTY WARRIORS Classic Costume Set” early purchase bonus, featuring characters such as Guan Yu and Zhou Yu in outfits from the original DYNASTY WARRIORS game.

WARRIORS: Abyss is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam®. The Nintendo Switch™ version will be available on 14th February 2025. The game features Japanese voices and texts in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
