Nioh’s William joins the cast of Musou Stars

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
• Horo – Toukiden
• Darius – Harukanaru Toki no Naka de
• Opoona – Opoona

• Honoka – Dead or Alive
• Rio – Rio
• Zhou Cang – Dynasty Warriors
• Lu Bu – Dynasty Warriors

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