Official Fact Sheet:

The first sequel in almost three years, Kessen III marks the highly respected franchise’s return to Japanese history and aesthetics.

The Story begins at the heart of Japan’s turbulent Sengoku or “warring states” period. Endless chaos and plunder have consumed the once isolated islands. A young teenager, known for his extravagant appearance and unconventional attitude emerges from Central Japan ? he is Nobunaga Oda.

While elders admonished him, Nobunaga’s contemporaries admired him. Blessed with an indomitable vision and fearless constitution, the soon-to-be legendary Nobunaga will stand against legions of samurai warriors in order to resurrect a land filled with chaos and sorrow.
