"We are excited about introducing the popular Xtreme Legends series into the Samurai Warriors line of games. The previous Xtreme Legends games took console gaming in a new direction by working as both standalone games and as expansion packs loaded with new modes of play, and all-new features. Samurai Warriors Xtreme will progress this tradition. We are taking this opportunity to bring our fans' influence to the game," said Amos Ip, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at KOEI Corporation.

Along with new content, Samurai Warriors Xtreme also opens up the original game 's character growth system for continued character development, so that players can create more powerful warriors.
Samurai Warriors Xtreme is being developed by KOEI's internal studio, Omega Force, the award-winning team behind the Dynasty Warriors series. Samurai Warriors Xtreme is a Tactical Action game for 1-2 Players and is rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the ESRB.
